I want to get a response from a remote node.js server by typing my public IP address into my browser. When I type my public IP into my browser on my personal computer, I get "Unable to Connect". My node.js server isn't connected to the World =(
var http = require('http');//create a server object:
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.write('Hello World!'); //write a response
res.end(); //end the response
}).listen(3000, function(){
console.log("server start at port 3000");
});
I've tried:
I have zero idea what I'm doing wrong and would be so grateful for your help.
I eventually found the answer, thanks to Saddy's suggestion that the problem might be port forwarding.
1. I decided to use ports 3080 and 3443 for my node server.
2. I SSHed into my CentOs instance.
3. I disabled the default firewall, firewalld.
4. I set up port forwarding using iptables with the following commands:
firewalld stop
firewalld disable
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3080
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3443
iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
After this, I was able to access my node server via a browser.
