Hello, I am trying to access the api on a pepwave max br1. It works fine when I access it via LAN but not via WAN. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere?
curl -k -c cookies.txt -H “Content-Type: application/json” -X POST -d ‘{“username”:“user”,“password”:“password”}’ http://[public_ip_addy]/api/login
curl: (28) Failed to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx port 80 after 21018 ms: Couldn’t connect to server
PS https yields the same result.
Any chance the WAN IP sits in the CGNAT range (100.64.0.0 - 100.127.255.255)?
Martin! I went back and checked again and you are correct sir! I was focused on the “InControl Detected IP”
Is there a workaround?
Well… the CGNAT is blocking inbound so you can’t do anything there.
You could cheaply host a free FusionHub appliance and port forward from its public static WAN to the LAN of the BR1.
Or, you can access the client API remotely using remote web admin but then you need to automate the IC2 user login process and initiate the rwa session which might not be a good fit for your needs eg:
I can make this work! Thank you for your help!
