Hey Guys, It's me
SaadMaqsood 🙋🏻♂️, It's
been a while since you guys are constantly commenting about the same issue
and this
"how to solve this Cloudflare and
ngrok port forwarding issues". To be honest these issues are really common and they are really easy to
solve. In this article, I will tell you guys about a port forwarding method
that will fix all these errors for you in a single command. This
is going to be a really quick and easy guide so make sure you read properly
and use your termux like a pro.🔥
What is Port Forwarding?
Port forwarding is a technique that creates an association between a
router's public, wide area network (WAN) internet protocol (IP) address
and a
private IP address
on a local network. It is used to bypass the firewall in the network and grant external devices
access to host systems on the network, such as gaming, email, remote access,
and more.
To understand it better imagine
Port forwarding
like opening a secret passage through a castle wall.
Imagine your router as the castle, guarding your home network from the
outside world. Now, let's say you have a special room inside the castle
that you want your friends from outside to access – maybe it's for gaming,
sharing files, or remote access to your computer.
However, the castle walls (your router's firewall) block anyone from
getting in unless they have the right key. This is where
port forwarding
comes in. It's like giving your friends a special key that opens a secret
door in the castle wall, leading straight to that room you want to share.
So, when you set up port forwarding, you're basically telling your router,
"Hey, if anyone comes knocking on this specific door (a certain port
number), let them through to this room (a specific device on your local
network)." This way, your friends from the outside can easily reach the
services or applications you want to share without having to storm the
castle gates. It's a handy trick for making your home network more
accessible and versatile.
Solving Cloudflare and Ngrok Issues:
Given the abundance of port forwarding methods available, it's important
to rotate between them rather than relying solely on one in Termux. Using
the same port forwarding method repeatedly can lead to blocks or
restrictions due to overuse, especially when running services like web
servers such as Apache or other tools.
One particularly effective method that has worked well for me is
serveo.net. Instead of Cloudflare or ngrok, simply use the following
command.
Ensure to adjust the port number as per the requirements of your
specific tool or service.
ssh -R 80:localhost:8080 serveo.net
Just paste the command in your termux and change the port number and
you are done.
what is servero.net?
Serveo.net is a
free dynamic DNS service that allows you to access your server using a
domain name.
You can use the domain name provided by Serveo.net as the target for your
SSH tunnel
By using this command, you create a secure connection between your local
machine and the remote server, bypassing any issues with port forwarding
through Cloudflare. This allows you to access the remote server as if it
were on your local network, even if it is hosted on a different network or
behind a firewall
Conclusion:
To wrap up, port forwarding is key for managing networks, allowing
outside access to local services. When grappling with Cloudflare and Ngrok
issues, diversifying methods is wise. Serveo.net emerges as a
dependable alternative. By leveraging it, users establish secure
connections, smoothing access to remote servers. This simplifies network
management in Termux, empowering users to
navigate their environments with confidence.
