monitoring UI

[PerkelSimon]

Hi,

I did setup dnscrypt-proxy on my open wrt router but it is impossible to use webUI, here my config:
maybe you could se the problem.

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080.

toml:

## To listen to all IPv4 addresses, use `listen_addresses = ['0.0.0.0:53']`
  38 ## To listen to all IPv4+IPv6 addresses, use `listen_addresses = ['[::]:53']`
  39
  40 listen_addresses = ['127.0.0.53:53']

[monitoring_ui]
 961
 962 ## Enable the monitoring UI
 963 enabled = true
 964
 965 ## Listen address for the monitoring UI
 966 listen_address = "127.0.0.1:8080"
 967
 968 ## Optional username and password for basic authentication
 969 ## To disable authentication, set username to an empty string: username = ""
 970 ## If both username and password are empty, no authentication is required
 971 username = "admin"
 972 password = "xxxxxxx"

openwrt DHCP:

config dnsmasq
 3         option domainneeded '1'
 4         option localise_queries '1'
 5         option rebind_protection '0'
 6         option local '/lan/'
 7         option expandhosts '1'
 8         option authoritative '1'
 9         option readethers '1'
10         option leasefile '/tmp/dhcp.leases'
11         option localservice '1'
12         option ednspacket_max '1232'
13         option cachesize '0'
14         list addnmount '/bin/busybox'
15         list addnmount '/var/run/adblock-lean/abl-blocklist.gz'
16         option noresolv '1'
17         option localuse '1'
18         list server '/pool.ntp.org/1.1.1.1'
19         list server '/time.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1'
20         list server '127.0.0.53'

Is Firefox running on your router?

No?
I don't have a web browser on my router

The reason for asking that is because 127.0.0.1 is a localhost address. You are directing Firefox to connect to port 8080 on the machine where Firefox is running, and it is dutifully informing you that nothing is listening there. Also you are configuring the monitoring UI to listen to port 8080 on the machine where dnscrypt-proxy is running, so it can't be expected to receive any connection from other machines (without other deliberate system configuration). The simplest way to resolve this would be to have the monitoring UI listening at 0.0.0.0:8080 instead of 127.0.0.1:8080 and tell Firefox to connect to port 8080 on whatever address your router has, as long as you're aware that will potentially also allow anyone on the internet to access the UI (depending on firewall settings etc).

Thanks , so, the new option for web UI on the toml, is not really great?
