Chromecast Device Whitelist Request, First Time Registration states that
It is ok for your receiver to be on an internal (NAT'd) IP address,
but not http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 as that will resolve to
the Chromecast device itself and will not work.
So is it fine, If I provide private URL for Whitelisting my device and URL? I provided following URL
http://192.168.0.1/rdx/englishfree.html
Above is the local IP of my machine, the IP is provided by the router internally. So is this URL acceptable by Google ? Google cannot check this URL, since it is behind my router.
I have not received any mail from google yet from past 2 days (for rejection or acceptance)
Please advice.
192.168.0.1 is a perfectly valid address. We are currently running the WL process every 3-4 days, so it should happen shortly.
Google have accepted a very similar URL from me (http://192.168.1.5/chromecast) and it works just fine for testing the app
The registration website would not accept the internal private DNS entry I have for it (http://tiefighter.loc/chromecast) but took the IP address just fine. (This makes sense give the other answer suggests the chromecast is using Googles DNS servers rather than the one handed out by the local DHCP server)
You shouldn't use a private address since it won't work. Chromecast device uses Google's DNS and a local private address will not be recognized outside of your network, hence when chromecast tries to download your receiver, it fails.

im new in mikrotik, please help
all device connected is blocked from internet
so, i want to send http post from web page to mikrotik with data ip & macAddress
then the mikrotik make this ip+macAddress can connect to internet
is that can be happen in mikrotik?
or maybe any option for that, thank you.
This strongly depends on how do you block users from accessing outside network.
Since you mentioned client IP a MAC address my guess is Hotspot. If I'm correct then THIS would be your way
I have set an Arduino code (on an esp8266). The code is only doing the following :
Set wifi
Connect to a webserver
Retrieve the html from this webserver and store it
instantiate a server:port
handle GET "/" request on local IP address and send back the html from the previous webserver.
Code is working fine (on 99%). I just need some support on the remaining 1%. :-)
When the webserver is having a "normal" IP address+domain name, the esp8266 can resolve it without any issue.
When the webserver is having only a "normal" IP address on the LAN, the esp8266 can get html from it without any issue.
But when this webserver is behind a CDN/Proxy activated (FYI this is Cloudflare), then the IP resolution is the IP from the CDN (seems OK) ; but the esp get an empty html or maybe a "0"... I'm not able to debug deeply on esp.
Is there anything I missed in my setting ?
Any idea what should I try.
Thanks
I switched to BearSSL Arduino library to and some final point after getting SSL handshake Error 40.
So in the end, I managed to use BearSSL and that solve the issue.
Hope someone can enlighten me. I have been wondering if the mac address visible to other sites using javascript is the mac address of router or the adapter in my pc or laptop? I am aware that the router strips my adapter's mac address and just sends the info to and fro the web. Thanks
Not sure what you mean, so I'll make a larger answer.
You can not get MAC addresses from Javascript in a browser. You can refer this thread.
If you meant IP address, then you can get all the computer IP addresses (usually referred as "private IP addresses" when you are behind a router) using WebRTC. You can check this thread and this site.
You can also get a visible IP address (usually referred as public IP in most cases) by querying a remote server, as this one.
I'm using Twilio to send and respond to messages. It was working normally, but since we moved to bay area the responding function doesn't work now.
So what happens is when the user send message to us(the IP address of our own computers) from their phones, our server can't receive anything. When we check our Twilio account, we know that the msg was indeed sent to the Twilio server. So we think it's the problem of linking between Twilio server and our IP address. We are suspecting that the IP address is virtual IP address here, which makes Twilio server can't find us. Is our suspection correct? if yes, what should we do? If not, what would be the possible problems?
Apologize for having a description not very clear, but it's pretty much everything of the problem. Please tell me if you need any additional information.
You probably need to use a dynamic dns service. Then you need to find what port Twilio sends the SMSs to the client(your computer), and make sure your firewall is forwarding that port to your computer. Odds are this is a firewall issue, especially since you say everything worked before you moved. Has there been a change in your network setup? You need to be aware of both hardware and software firewalls in your setup.
How is the firewall configured on your router? You need to forward requests to your router to your local IP address. Example: My local ip is 192.168.1.5 my external ip is 245.932.4.3 (This is the value you get from myipaddress.com) Thus you need to set your router (which has ip 245.932.4.3) to forward requests on port x (where x= the twilio outgoing port) to 192.168.1.5
Can I write a Windows Task or some kind of configuration script that will choose between two Local Area Connections according to the website I am visiting?
It may not be the best answer to my problem, but if it is possible, at least I know it will work.
The issue in full:
My main ISP currently has an issue routing me to my own websites (all hosted on the same server). It also has a 'sticky IP address' (note, not static) - it will only change your IP address once a fortnight, and they can't (won't) even force a change. Their second line support are working on the issue, but so far, no good, and I cannot access my own websites via their internet connection.
So, currently, I am switching from my main network to my mobile 3G network (tethered) any time I want to work on or view my own websites.
I would like to write a script that will make Windows automatically choose my mobile network for FTP, email and browsing my own websites, but use my main ISP for all other online activity.
Haven't a clue where to start - any help appreciated! Thanks,
Sarah
Well, that was simple, no scripting required. If you're using IPv4 (you can check here https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDoQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amiusingipv6.com%2F&ei=Bq4_UpakM4vv0gXboIDwCQ&usg=AFQjCNHiUnyKvVcUe8Z966YwoycLI28urw&bvm=bv.52434380,d.d2k)
Turn Windows features on or off.
Turn on RIP Listener.
Disable your internet connection that cannot connect to the website you are trying to access, and 'tracert' to the website: make a note of the IP address of the website, and the first IP address in the hop list ([FIRST IP]).
Type in 'route print' and make a note of the Interface number of your secondary internet connection.
Type in 'route add -p [WEBSITE IP ADDRESS] mask 255.255.0.0 [FIRST IP] IF [INTERFACE NUMBER] metric 1'
Reboot.
All traffic to the website IP address (be it mail, FTP, whatever) will go through the secondary connection, all other traffic goes through the main connection.
IPv6 instructions here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/configuring-multiple-gateways-on-a-network
My setup is just an iPhone connected via USB as secondary connection and a Home Hub connected via ethernet as primary.
Hope this is useful to someone else - but of course, no one should ever think of using this to get around IP blocks on message boards...
