Dude remote web console question

Hello again…

I have one server running The Dude 3.6. All of my network scanning happens there. This server scans from inside our network and is not accessible from our external ports. We have another server that IS accessible from our external port. What I would like to do is install another instance of The Dude 3.6 on that external server. I want to run the web interface from there so that we can access it from our phones anytime (we can already access another tool we have there). How can I make this work? I see the “Server” and “Agents” tabs, but I don’t know how to pull the data from the “main” dude server over to my external box so that it can be seen on the web console. These boxes can see each other on the internal network and both instances of The Dude have successfully “connected” to each other after entering them into the “Agents” tab.

Thanks in advance for any input. :slight_smile:

You will want to make the internal server an agent of the external server. So I have not done this but it should be as simple as going to the agents tab on the external server and specifying the internal server as it’s agent. With the external server being “primary” you can manually add a device and tell it that it is actually on the agent in the agent box on the device settings.

Lebowski, thank you for your reply (you seem to always chime in when I need help and I appreciate it!). However, our resident network guru just said that he can just forward the port on the main Dude server without setting it up on another server, on our snapgear. So I will try that. Thanks again :slight_smile:

Yep I was wondering, makes more sense to me to allow port 80 out instead of put a whole instance out in the DMZ or on the Internet… Long ago I decided I liked the dude. I just crossed the 1000 post mark :slight_smile: So thanks for the compliment! Let me know how your monitoring plans go,

I have not decided how external access will work, still using VPN. I thought it would be neat to somehow proxy the dude web site onto another server with a set of scripts or something then give access to that content. In essence it would be sterile and separate from the actual server.
