Topic: Disable forwarding Client IP in reverse proxy

[James Blond]

Is it possible to disable forwarding the client IP in the reverse request or changing the IP?
I'd like to access my router from the internet. Now after a new fireware Update it checks the client IP if it is from the LAN. So now I can't access my router via reverse proxy

It *might* work if you configure a forward proxy instead of a reverse proxy - if the only problem is the client IP address.

This was not enough to let me use my Buffalo WHR-G54S router (IP 192.168.11.1) remotely.
There were just too many embedded URLs and I didn't want to use mod_proxy_html to deal with them.

I opened another external port (for example - port 81) and configured a virtual host like this:

Great idea, but my router still notice that the client IP is not from the LAN.
Any other idea?

Also the trick using mod_proxy_html didn't work... Before firmware update it was fine. But the Manufacturer says that there is no change to downgrade the firmware

My workaround is using VNC over SSH Tunnel and configure my router from "inside"

Now I set up a brand new config file without the reverse proxy and now I can access my rounter with the forward proxy using the internal IP
