Well, hello there.
I run several services on my NAS at home.
I have a domain which always points at home and redirects port 80 to wikipedia.
Almost all ports are not forwarded, only for those which i want to have access to.
Example:
- Paperless
- Syncthing
- FreshRSS
Now i work on my corporate computer and i cant access my services.
Why?
It blocks connections which go to a specific port.
Now i would love to access freshrss on adress:
Which gets blocked.
Any ideas?
Messing with the local pc is of course forbidden.
I would advise to not do personal stuff on your work computer.
Definitely this…never ever do anything personal from company issued devices. I barely even let my work laptop access my WiFi when WFH.
I know a guy whose former employer used the fact that he plugged a USB into his work machine to threaten to sue him unless he gave up severance when they layer him off.
Don’t use your work machine for anything other than work, ever. Assume it logs everything, assume it will all be used against you as needed.
Assume if you write it on that machine they’ll try and claim it as their IP.
Use a reverse proxy like Traefik to access your services via subdomain like paperless.yourdomain.com.
The advantage of that approach is you will be connected to Traefik on port either 443 or 80 (based on your Traefik setup). Most firewall will allow connection to port 443 or 80.
I would recommend not exposing a bunch of services to the internet. Ideally you would expose only a VPN and connect to everything that way.
Or, at the very least, a reverse proxy.
Enterprise firewalls can detect if you’re running services on non-standard ports.
For example if you try to use ssh on port 443, I block that.
If you try to use https on 8443 I block that.
Also if your domain is on a dynamic dns domain or is relatively new then it might get blocked.
