Comment on Securely Access Your Tomato Router Remotely by justin

If you can’t reach your router when you are on your LAN that sounds like a fundamental problem with your setup, maybe you changed the port you access the router on? If so you may have to factory default the router.

Once inside the router setup under Administration -> Admin Access you can set what ports your router is available at, by default port 80 and 443 (for SSL) when on your local LAN. Remote access should be set to HTTPS and defaults to port 8080 but you can change that.

I actually cancelled my LastPass premium account so I can’t test the iPhone app now but I’ll take your word this is the case, at least I hope it is! I’m still sticking with KeePass and MiniKeePass at the moment even though support for OS X is terrible, but I can always hope…

Justin,

You said:
Pin Enabled: OFF (Not sure why this option is here, you should be re-entering your database password to access it not using a short pin as an alternative)

Response:
You enter the pin to open the APP, not the DATABASE. After you enter the pin, the APP opens and you can select a database. You then must enter your DATABASE PASSWORD to open it. The pin is in ADDITION to the database password. Give it a try with a short timeout and you’ll see what I mean.

Sorry for such a late comment … I just started using MiniKeePass.

Nice review … thanks,

Marty

Also, when I try to log in to my router on my lan I get the following screen:
Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.1.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network

Just wanted to leave a note to say thank you – your guide was extremely helpful and easy to understand. I did have a bit of trouble with some software on my machine which were jamming up the network pipes (uninstalled VPN software, a video streaming application, Apache, etc.) but after I got rid of those, it worked like a charm.

Hmm, I wonder if there is something in the Toastman build that may cause the issue? Could be worth posting over at the TomatoUSB forums to see if it handles broadcast address mapping differently, I'd be interested to know in case other people have this same issue

no luck. no change – same output in putty – every other static device is listed – but no .254.

tried changing the ip address in the firewall scripts to .199, and in the port forwarding to .199 – and nothing. same result.

thanks for trying

Maybe change the high end of your DHCP pool to 192.168.1.200? Then put the two ‘ip neigh’ commands under Firewall scripts, make sure they aren’t on any other pages, hit save and reboot the router. Double check when it comes back up the two ip neigh commands are still listed under Firewall

i was able to enable ssh – but for the life of me cannot get the firewall scripts to work.

i have been able to wake my pc using the WOL command from tomato from a different connected pc on my network.

if it matters – this is the version of tomato i am running
Tomato v1.28.7493 MIPSR2-Toastman-RT K26 USB Ext

i have assigned static ip’s to devices on my network. on the basic tab i have set my ip address range from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.255

so when i run the ‘ip neigh show’ command in putty – i get a list like so –

192.168.1.101 dev br0 lladdr c4:eb:d9:8d:bc:79 PERMANENT

i’ve changed the mac address in my post (paranoid much?) but you get the idea – with all the other devices and their mac addresses and assigned ip’s as well.

i cannot get the 192.168.1.254 to show in the WOL page. i have placed the scripts in firewall and the init page as well – and no luck

any thoughts?
