Hi,
Obviously I don't understand the internet and don't know what I'm
doing.
Honestly. Who does, these days?
The other day changed the ISP's (Sky) router to have fibre connection.
I have a PC with apache2 presenting an index.html which is a page of
links
to various documents and websites.
The link to e.g. the BBC works fine but the link to my roundcube
install on
the same PC shows gstatic.com in the address bar and a blank page.
This
seems to be something to do with the ISP using google to cache
external
websites.
To try to debug those things, you'll have to try small steps. How is
your
page's URL pointing to your Roundcoube written? Most probably with a
name:
- try to find how this name is being resolved to an IP:
host <your-local-roundcube-name>
(perhaps "host -a" and post the results here if you can't make heads or
tails of them).
Does the result correspond to your expected IP address?
If not, you'll have to fix your DNS resolution thingy. AFAIK, pfsense
can
do that.
If yes, more digging is in order.
[...]
The way I'm doing things is a bodge as I don't have a proper internet
facing
domain for these local things.
This shouldn't be necessary. On the contrary, having a local net you
have
control of can be very convenient.
Perhaps it is something about using the ISP's DNS for resolving
things?
regards
Yes, but you should be able to override that at your whim with pfsense.
Cheers
OK. I can ping the PC with roundcube on it by name but "host
<name-of-pc-with-roundcube-on-it>" fails to resolve.
I need to go through everything for the 4th time ( -> home -> local ->
home ) and change the domain to .home.arpa .
I'll do that before anything else.
