I am pretty sure this is not a WebInterface-Issue. If it is a need a way more concrete error description... "it simply doesn't work" doesn't give me ANY clue of what may be going wrong on Webinterface-side.

thanks your kind info....if you sure it's not a webinterface issue...it can be enigma only enabling some how on 2 interface ..cos if terminal we type ifconfig we have eth0 and lo interface but if we start openvpn we have new interface tun0 and most possibility this interface left out...can be.......?????some how can i make a script on start up tell enigma to enable or bind ip also tun0 interface .....
can you help regarding this issue pls ......
many thanks

Oh... that's a problem.... if enigma2 doesn't recognize a new interface (which it most probably doesn't in your case) the webinterface doesn't either. An i don't know any solution for that right away, sorry :/.

ok i understand ..thanks for your help.......

is it possible to enter a line in WebIfConfig field like =vpn static ip same thing like this......????????

can be many thx

Technically the problem is, that you can only start listening on an ip/interface which exists/is up and running at the very moment you try open the listener-port.
If you connect VPN, after enigma2 started neither enigma2 nor any of it's plugins will recognize a new interface got up and running.

Usually you would simply start to listen on 0.0.0.0:xxx, which would solve that problem, but we can't do that with the webinterface, because for connections from 127.0.0.1:80 we need to perma-disable authentication (for streaming), which could be enabled for connections from LAN:80.

But i think i do have a "doable" solution i can implement for you, though.

If you disable password-protection for HTTP (non-s) and for streaming (meaning that all available ips "behave" similar) i could make the webinterface listen on 0.0.0.0:80 which should solve your problem, while not creating any new problems for others.
Would this be an option for you? If so, i would try to implement that soon!

maybe its time to implement feature TrustedHosts where define which IPs/Hosts can come without autentification
sample from /var/tuxbox/config/enigma>config

Zitat

s:/ezap/webif/trustedhosts=localhost;10.0.0.1;10.0.10.1;129.111.33.10;66.6.81.77;

p.s.
default value 'localhost'

I'll think about that.

thx Reichi and MartiniB for your help....

Reichi

regarding enigma2 if starts before vpn yes you correct cant see any interface or plugin....but if we set up vpn on startup when box boots and if we use script like tell enigma sleeps 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 so vpn have enough time to open tun0 interface then enigma starts it can be.....????

MartiniB
also your option looks ok....i hope developers can the way to this option

many thanks for your help

hey guys,

i am newbie with enigma2 so please be careful with me.

i have there another point:
if i start my box while my router is off, i also can reach my box after switching on my router vie telnet etc. but not via the webinterface. i think the problem is based on the same issue.

it would be ok for me if i only have to restart the webinterface via telnet or ssh to get access to the webinterface. because i am not very familiar with enigma2 i have no idea if its possible and if yes how i should do that. searching the web didn't help me anyway.

Same issue (basically).

Have you already implemented this feature?
I would be glad if you could give an answer!

thx

Hi,

it's fixed now!
The Webinterface ist now listening on 0.0.0.0 for http and https ports.
Streamauth can still be bypassed, but it's now done using the originating host of the http-request.
