Failed Host Check

[giano]

Hi! Thanks again for the PiHole (and new features) but now I'm having an issue connecting to the web interface from a remote location:

When I try to connect through my router "domain" (I have an Asus with a DynDns kind of external hostname service) the new interface doesn't match the domain (it only has a different port) For example if i try to connect to xxxxxxx.asuscomm.com:8090/admin (real subdomain is redacted for security reason) it gives you a "Failed Host Check" as it has whitelisted xxxxxxx.asuscomm.com (no port here). I can't change forwarded port (80 is in use).

The error message is as such:

Failed Host Check: xxxxxxx.asuscomm.com:8090 vs http://192.168.1.166, http://xxxxxxx.asuscomm.com, http://pi.hole, http://localhost

Expected Behaviour:

Remotely connect through a remote port forwarded dynamic ip hostname.

Actual Behaviour:

Failed Host Check... No Joy!

Steps to reproduce this issue:

Create DynDns domain to your PiHole device through not-80 port forwarding on your router and try to connect to your PiHole admin interface.

Thanks again.

Noticed a potential fix on Discourse:

https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/add-support-for-port-80/912.

Would be a great fix for me. I would simply change admin port to 8090 to have it mirror the external one.

But the "auth.php" file is no more, as I can see.

UPDATE:
the file is in /var/www/html/admin/php/auth.php
Monkey patching it at the moment.
Added
'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . ':' . $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'],
'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . ':8090',
to the list of authorized domains.

NOW I'M IN!

You should have done some more searching on this topic - I fixed that already yesterday!

See Pull Request #275 as well as also the issue #279
