Unable to access JIO Router behind reverse proxy

[ssrahul96]

I ve set up a reverse proxy in a client which is connected to the jio router,

JIO router page is loading fine from the client (http://192.168.29.1)

The client got its own ipv6 address, and i ve planned to use it a web server / reverse proxy. If i configure the jio router (192.168.29.1) in reverse proxy, its says unauthorised, seems like they ve implemented some restrictions.

nginx right? prolly host header issue. try setting this in the config file:

proxy_set_header Host "192.168.29.x";
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP "192.168.29.x";


x is the client ipv4 address

I use npm ... Nginx proxy manager... Lazy

@vishalrao , I am also usinng Nginx proxy manager only, I tried adding proxy header as suggested by @JB701 , it throws 400 - Bad request

Current Config

 

[JB701]

you can add custom config in npm under advanced section of host in npm web ui

remove the stuff added in nginx config file

 

[JB701]

try this config, you can paste it in advanced section (whole thing including location itll override the gui config).

  location / {
 proxy_pass http://192.168.29.1;
    proxy_set_header Host "192.168.29.1";
  }

edit: instead of setting Host to "192.168.29.1" you can also try

Host $remote_addr;

instead (no quotes)

@JB701 , Still no luck

I tried with proxy_set_header Host "192.168.29.1"; as well,


Note: i want to access it over router.example.com via https

 

[JB701]

did you try it with ssl disabled? ssl still works even with custom config

what error it show? you can press F12 > Network tab to see the error code of the first request

 

[ssrahul96]

other sites that are hosted in nginx proxy manager are working fine, eg. plex, kodi.

JIO router is the one, which has issues

 

[JB701]

sadly i dont have a jio router to test this out myself
