New install of Hass.io not accessible externally

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

So I am in the process of moving my old setup onto a new Hass.io based install. I have installed and configured the SSH, Let’s Encrypt, and DuckDNS add-ons. Currently I am unable to access the frontend or SSH from outside of the network. I was able to get thru on SSH and the https frontend locally, so I think I am just missing something stupid, or there is something new that I am missing with port forwarding. I have port forwarding on the google on-hub router set to the reserved DNS on my local network. SSH works fine locally but will not connect remotely using the DNS entry, DuckDNS has the correct public ip address (as seen from my windows PC on the same network) however the ifconfig on the PI shows a completely different number.

For example:
public IP address: 104.62.XX.XX
IP address from ifconfig in SSH shell on the local network: 172.17.XX.XX and a local loopback of 127.0.0.1
local ip address: 192.168.0.24 This is the reserved address for the PI with google onhub Router and shows that it is connected when looking at devices on the network. I have these ports forwarded to this local IP 443>443 22>22 80>80 8123>8123

I think I included everything but if anyone needs more info, just let me know.

I think you just need to setup the Nginx HomeAssistant SSL proxy if you haven’t done so already. It should automatically use your Let’s Encrypt certs.

I think after having the Let’s Encrypt certificates etcetera, you need to forward port 443 from the router to port 8123 of your Pi :wink:

Hoping this was a new requirement that I missed, unfortunately with it installed and configured I am still getting the same results.

SSH also does not work which is forwarded on port 22. I tried this solution too just to be sure, but still getting a timeout.

Actually the issue is resolved. I am not sure which of these solutions or if both were needed, but thinking about it more while I was at work today and I realized I never restarted my router after the changes listed here. I restarted my router and everything is running remotely now. Thanks for all your help!
