Hey everyone,
I'm looking to access my miners from outside my local network and I'm trying out port forwarding. I have Antminer, InnoSilicon, and WhatsMiner.
Setting up AntMiner and InnoSilicon was a breeze using port 80, but WhatsMiner isn't playing nice with it. I also tried port 24 and 8080, but no luck. The only one that's working is port 4028, but that's just for the API and I keep getting a message back.
What I really need is to get into the config/status page of the miner.
Anyone got any tips or solutions?
Thanks!

Why not use software instead to remote all of those ASIC miners?
You can try Remote Agent AwesomeMiner so that you can remotely access your all ASIC miner you just need a remote PC connected on the network with ASIC miner.
If you don't want to run a PC 24/7 you can try raspberry pi connect it to the same network and install the remote agent for Linux.
The installer can be found here https://www.awesomeminer.com/download
And for the installation guide you can find it here https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000085713-remote-agent-control-mining-on-a-remote-computer
thanks for your message.
as you mentioned, the problem is I don't have extra free PC to put there.
I will check your solution.

I research a bit here on the forum and most of what I heard about port forwarding is risky your miner can be scan easily by hackers who scanning IPs and ports 24/7. If they found your IP and open port then they can remotely access your miner and they are going to inject a virus.
If you don't have an extra pc to remote then your last option is to set up a VPN in your router much secured compared to port forwarding.
Read these threads below.

Thanks for your time.
My router has the VPN server option by itself and it made my work so easy.
anyway, I'm still interesting to find how can remote a WhatsMiner machine by port forwarding. (just for my knowledge and maybe I need to use it in future)
It's not up to Whatsminer to accept or deny the access, if you can locally access the miner on port 80 then you should be able to do so remotely, I believe your router could be blocking you because Whatsminer GUI has an issue with CA root cerficiate, most firewalls will flag it so this could be the reason why, you do to need to play with your router security settings which isn't something I would recommend, port forwarding to your miners is risky and things could go wrong.
You really need an extra PC on-site to be somehow on the safer side, it doesn't need to be a fancy one, get the cheapest one you can, I am sure you can find something for $100 or so, if you can't afford it, wait until you can.
