Checking remote ports


 

Hello group,

I have been working on my remote over the internet and have run into some mysteries. To test my path to the Quisk-remote software I have been trying to telnet? nn.nn.nn.nn port

gvj@DLap:~$ telnet nn.nn.nn.nn 4585
Trying nn.nn.nn.nn...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
gvj@DLap:~$ telnet nn.nn.nn.nn pppp
Trying nn.nn.nn.nn...
Connected to nn.nn.nn.nn.
Escape character is '^]'.
In the first case I was trying the command port for Quisk and was refused. In the second case I was telneting to my remote shack controller and was able to connect perfectly as I can for port 22 (ssh). I know that port 4585 works because I can connect remotely over the internet and apart from getting RF into my home network and dropping the command port it works 100% I am OK at QRP levels and strangely enough with CW.

73, Graeme ZL2APV

Can anyone explain why I can't telnet to quisk on 4585/6/7 please?


 

This is what I get on port 4585


don@aorus:~/Desktop$ telnet hpcq2.a 4585
Trying 192.168.2.71...
Connected to hpcq2.a.

Ports 4586 and 4587 won't connect to telnet.

Hello Don,

Well I still can't do it but at least I know what it looks like when it is going. I'll try some other things, maybe locking my firewall down to TCP on that port has something to do with it so I will see what other options I have.

Thanks for your response, 73, Graeme ZL2APV

Hello Graeme,

You can not telnet into port 4585 because you can not answer the security challenge from the remote. Remember that the pass phrase must be present on both ends. This design is meant to prevent an attacker from taking over your station.
