Remote monitoring of OGN-R/ATOM station

Hello Chris,
Thanks for sending the remote login details which work to a point, but I seem to be having the problem Steve reports with maybe blocking of port 9000 to allow viewing of the ATOM display even on my own phone. This is particularly what I was hoping to view away from home, either via cellular network or other wifi connections.
Thanks,
Frank.

Hi Frank / Steve,
I’m not questioning what you are saying about port blocking in any way - just surprised.
I have been using the remote login procedure since it first became available and use it pretty much every day, via a range of access devices, including Windows PC/laptop, various iPads and my Android tablet and phones - on a variety of home, club and other networks operating via landline, cable, gsm and microwave links. Despite all that, I can’t say I have ever come across the problem you are referring to of ports being blocked. That said, if I’m not on a ‘known’ network, I normally use a 4G connection from my phone or tablet, rather than attempting to login to our secure network from a potentially unsecured site (which might explain why you get blocked).
Best Regards
Peter

Some of the places I work in or end up staying away from home at are not good for mobile broadband coverage, which is ideally 4G to work properly. Examples include underground OB parks or basements of buildings...
I used to some IT support for work and know that on "free" Wifi a lot of ports do get blocked. 15 years ago some places were even blocking port 25!!! Yes, silly, but for real...
As I understand it, if the connection is https then there shouldn't be an issue with unsecured.
AIUI the ATOM login uses port 444?
I usually use my own 4G rather than nosey, want my email address and T&Cs agreement free Wifi.
If you do make the most of free Wifi, then you may encounter this problem, you may not...
Increasingly in my business, facilities are asked to provide a feed of raw, unfiltered Internet...

Can you explain exactly what you are doing, I suspect you are clicking the links on the ATOM page to access the VRS rather than the links from the users site

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, but I've been away for a couple of days.
I'm trying to use the link Chris sent me at: https://data.pilotaware.com. I use the links at the top of the page after logging in with the password and selecting PWLongSut in the drop-down menu.
I select the "Status" drop down above where it says: "Dropdown menu inside a navigation bar", then "Grid" which gives me the "Home" page where there's the familiar "Home", "Metar", "Radar" and "Login" options.
When I select "Radar" as I would through a local connection, I get a message saying:
"Bad Request, Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please. Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu)Server at bogus_host_without_reverse_dns port 9000
I'm using an Android phone. Any ideas please?
Thanks,
Frank.
