<![CDATA[Weird GUI issue]]>I have found a weird little bug/flaw in the GUI when you are using a parivate address on your FOG box and Nat’ing or port forwarding from a public address. The issue I am seeing is that when I access the fog box from outside the network via a port forward, the side menu options , like the list after you select a host, do not function. I can not check active directory, settings, basic tasks, etc… if I am local on the private network, there’s no issue at all. If i straight port forward port 80 to 80 it’s fine, but if i use some obscure port in the NAT it only works half-assed - like 15580 to port 80.

Keeping in mind, this isn’t really affecting anything, as most everything can be done more than one way, but I thought maybe you would like to hear about this…

I have tested this wit a number of obscure ports versus a straight forwarding … and it can be replicated at my end everytime.

Let’s say i login from outside the local network… which is 10.10.10.0/24 . The fog host is .252
My firewall port forwards 8.8.8.8:25280 -> 10.10.10.252:80

so my login url is [url]http://8.8.8.8:25280/fog/[/url]

i am able to login and maneouvre around but if i select hosts, then open a specific host, the gui will not actually take action on the host, such as Basic Tasks. Clicking on this yields nothing, no change…

but if i remove the port-translation, and just use a 1-1 nat, like
8.8.8.8:80 -> 10.10.10.252:80 the interface works fine… including individual host operations.

I am assuming there’s a hard-coded value called at some point, just wanted to point out the symptom, in case someone else ends up with the issue where menus in the GUI don’t work while using ip and port-translation.

When I get home, I’ll see if I can replicate.
