How to remotely access apps from a ZeroTier node (or in other VPN systems)

What type of hardware are you using: Old laptop or computer
What YunoHost version are you running: 12 (I guess, because I can’t check its version just now, I have been disconnected trying to solve this)
How are you able to access your server: SSH, HTTP
Are you in a special context or did you perform specific tweaking on your YunoHost instance ?: No. I did not modify the base of the system and there are no installed apps that are not from official repository.

Describe your issue

I am only trying to access remotely apps of YunoHost (a x86 machine) from a ZeroTier node (a Android device). My domain is local. I can access via SSH to server, and also to admin dashboard via web, but not to user dashboard, neither with privileged or unprivileged credentials, neither HTTP or HTTPS, neither via domain name or via IP address, neither to custom domain name or to yunohost.local.

  • admin dashboard is only accessible through its virtual IP address
  • when from admin dashboard I want access to user dashboard, it returns me
  • server has apps such as ZeroTier (network controller) and ZeroUI (web interface)
  • essential services (such as avahi-daemon) work on the server
  • I can do ping xx.xx.xx.xx from my client device and the server responds
  • normal access tested from real LAN (not virtual LAN like now): all was working

(While this issue was published by another member in Discuss section, I think it is further suitable publish it in Support section. Furthermore, this issue is not due to some app, but due to the security policy of YunoHost. If this post should not be published here, or I must correct something, tell me and if you are right, I will modify it or move it or delete it. This issue was previously published here and related topics with port forwarding blocking without solution so far are here and here.)

PD: Just in case, I do not consider renting space in a VPS service as a solution, due to the dependency involved. CGNAT blocking and other restrictions must be hacked.

This is not a bug, but if necessary, I will put here the logs of nginx or other services later.
