Greetings,
Openwwrt: OpenWrt 21.02.0-rc4 r16256-2d5ee43dc6 / LuCI openwrt-21.02 branch git-21.314.39479-e1ccb66
used for months.. suddenly I am totally unable to access the https:// web interface.
http:// is available and works.
I cant figure out what happened.
The only thing I have done somewhere around that time (but I cant relate to it) is trying squid proxy.
So after loosing https:// access to my Luci UI, I decided to uninstall Squid proxy.
However, I did not regain my https:// access
Can someone help me trouble shoot this? Additional info:
I tested the https:// access using several different devices and is always the same issue. So is not device related.
it is not an upgrade from previews Luci versions
Luci runs on a Netgear Nighthawk X4S R7800
I do have a second router in my LAN also with Luci configured as a dumb AP. (to know I have that from the beginning and cant really be the cause of the issue. It has been working all fine till some days ago)
upgrade done.
same thing. no https://
Actually is worst... http:// redirects to https:// and I cant access the UI all together now!
UPDATE:
I can access with http:// my FF was set to only accept https:// connections. other browser allows http:// unsecure connection.
any idea how to trouble shoot that?
Mind that is my router right after the fiber optic from ISP.
So if I take that down, I have no internet.
No other router before it.
UPDATE
so, I tested an earlier configuration backup.
and noticed that https:// was than working again.
I use linux and have installed also Chrome on linux. I realiazed that Chome was letting me in with https:// with warnings.
But FF not at all.
got my newer configuration back, cleared cache in FF and my https:// was back.
Note that before upgrading the openwrt, I had cleared cache but no joy.
The upgrade DID solve my issue.
It would be still very good to know what beak my earlier https://
I guess we can call this case solved!
got a bad surprise I did not noticed yesterday... my openvpn client to PIA is gone. All related VPN packages are no longer there.
I will try to restore an older configuration ....
anyone knows how to reset the old config with openvpn and vpnbypass without I go to the all configuration again?
all the folders are back but all services are not.
I am trying to reinstall them with the hope they will pickup the config that seems to exist.. not sure I lost some parts along the upgrade UPDATE
It appear that after reinstalling the services, the configuration (that was backed up) is back and dont need to re-configure everything.
The process of reinstalling the services is quick after all.
Now I would love to know how to prevent this to happen to the next upgrade of LUCI
any suggestions?
Maybe some lines under the System -> backup -> configuration tab????
I have found it more functional to go directly to the router IP address in webbrowser address line. Often if a bookmark is used it is saved with some dns text for luci after the ip address.
If all that is removed and only https://“ip address” is called it usually works.
Hi @flygarn.
thank for the feedback. I always use the ip address in the browser address line.
but that is now solved.
The discussion is now related to the after math... maybe I should open a new topic.
Sorry about that
