GNS3 uses websockets to get events/notifications from the server. Please try the following NGINX Configuration. |

Hey, thanks for the answer, but the problem is accessing the gns3vm outside. Accessing the node from gns3vm has succeeded thanks to your configuration. Laptop --❌--> gnx3vm --✅--> ubuntu node (inside gns3) I’m still encountering a challenge with accessing the GNS3VM from an external source. Could you please provide guidance or suggest any additional configurations for this? I've confirmed that there is no issue with the router and firewall. on my laptop: gns3vm: gns3@gns3vm:~$ netstat -tuln | grep 60000

Has your GNS3 VM 2 network adapters, one host-only and one NAT? |
|
Thanks for the answer so far, I changed the port from 60000 to 80 and it works. |
Awesome, thanks for the info. |

I’m encountering an issue with my NGINX reverse proxy setup on a GNS3 VM. The proxy works correctly when tested internally within the VM, but attempts to access it externally from my laptop result in a connection failure. I’ve verified that no additional firewalls are active in my topology. Below are the details of my configuration and the troubleshooting steps I’ve performed so far.
Setup Details:
Environment:
• Host Machine: MacBook (macOS)
• Virtualization: GNS3 VM
GNS3 GUI Details:
NGINX Configuration:
server { listen 60000 default_server; listen [::]:60000 default_server; server_name 10.10.10.111; location / { proxy_pass http://192.168.122.156:80; } }Ubuntu Server (Inside GNS3 via NAT 192.168.122.1) :
• IP Address: 192.168.122.156
• Service: NGINX serving on port 80
Issue Description:
• Internal Testing (Within GNS3 VM):
• Executing the following curl command successfully returns a 200 OK response:
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu) Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 03:35:39 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 615 Last-Modified: Sat, 28 Sep 2024 14:22:47 GMT Connection: keep-alive ETag: "66f81137-267" Accept-Ranges: bytes• External Testing (From Laptop):
• Attempting to access the proxy using the following curl command fails:
Error:
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 10.10.10.111 port 60000 after 23 ms: Couldn't connect to serverDiagnostics Performed:
Output:

Output:
Note: Port 60000 is not listed as open.
• UFW:
Output:
• iptables:
Output:
• Note: There are no active firewall rules blocking port 60000, and ufw is inactive.
Additional Information:
• According to netstat, NGINX is listening on port 60000 for both IPv4 (0.0.0.0:60000) and IPv6 (:::60000).
• However, nmap does not list port 60000 as open when scanned from within the VM.
• There are no other firewalls or security groups active in the current network topology that could be blocking access to port 60000.
• The GNS3 VM network settings are correctly configured to allow external access to the specified port.
Questions:
What I’ve Tried:
• Verified that NGINX is running and configured correctly to listen on port 60000.
• Confirmed that ufw is inactive and iptables does not block port 60000.
• Successfully accessed the internal server via curl within the VM.
• Confirmed that the port is listening using netstat.
• Attempted to scan ports with nmap, which did not show port 60000 as open.
• Reviewed the gns3-gui package details to ensure there are no related conflicts or dependencies affecting network configurations.
Looking For:
Advice on potential misconfigurations or overlooked settings that could prevent external access to the NGINX reverse proxy on a custom port within a GNS3 VM environment. Guidance on additional troubleshooting steps or configurations to resolve this connectivity issue would be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
