Web interface over port forwarding

[fa2k]

The web interface on the Linux version doesn't work when the port is forwarded to a different port.

If I do this, it [doesn't always work]:

ssh -L 8888:localhost:8888 host

go to http://localhost:8888/gui/

If I do this, the page loads, but many UI elements don't respond:

ssh -L 8889:localhost:8888 host

go to http://localhost:8889/gui/

(edit) Now that I think about it, it's not a huge problem, I can just configure a different port on each computer and forward to the same port (as in the first case above). Doesn't matter which port number it is anyway

-- doesn't seem to work perfectly in the first case either, but that may be caused by something else?

I experienced the same. I think it is because that link has a higher latency due to the tunnel and the token used for authnetication only has a very short lifespan.

Ah, that explains why it works better with my ethernet connected host than the WLAN connected one which is also a hop further away. Thanks for the reply

-- I suppose it may be a kind of weird security feature to prevent access from the WAN. I found a solution, i can just start firefox via X11 forwarding, but I think the timeout should be an advanced option
