404 when accessing subdomain created by local tunnel client

[anthonyeric-son]

SETUP

I have my own copy of the tunnel server running on a cloud server (vultr.com). I already have a wildcard domain assigned to the cloud server (e.g. *.mydomain.com).

The Localtunnel server is running with the following parameters:

node -r esm bin/server.js --port 1234 --domain test.mydomain.com localtunnel server listening on port: 1234 +0ms

I am able to confirm the server is accessible via the domain name:

curl http://test.mydomain.com:1234 Redirecting to https://localtunnel.github.io/www/. curl http://test.mydomain.com:1234/api/status {"tunnels":0,"mem":{"rss":50446336,"heapTotal":13225984,"heapUsed":10797176,"external":3097584,"arrayBuffers":982138}}

NOTE: The "mydomain" is not the real domain. Not sure if I'm at liberty to give out the real domain name. But for the sake of describing my problem, I think it should suffice.

On my local machine, I run the localtunnel client with the following parameters:

node bin/lt.js -p 8181 -h http://test.mydomain.com:1234 -s device your url is: http://device.test.mydomain.com:1234

On the server side, the console log is updated:

node -r esm bin/server.js --port 1234 --domain test.mydomain.com localtunnel server listening on port: 1234 +0ms localtunnel:server making new client with id device +0ms

Also, on my local machine, I have a simple http server running on port 8181

PROBLEM

When I try to access the simple http server using the url, generated by the localtunnel client, i.e.:

curl http://device.test.mydomain.com:1234

I get a 404 response.

QUESTION

Are there any other settings I need to do on the cloud server to get this working? Perhaps there are some parameters I missed?

I tested using your default server:

node bin/lt.js -p 8181 -s device your url is: https://device.loca.lt

And this one works without any probelms.

Thanks.

WAIT! I think I found the culprit.

When I ran the Localtunnel server with DEBUG=* option, I saw that it was also creating a new listening server with a dynamic TCP port after my local tunnel connects:

localtunnel:server making new client with id device +0ms lt:TunnelAgent[device] tcp server listening on port: 42071 +0ms <------- lt:ClientManager removing client: device +0ms lt:TunnelAgent[device] closed tcp socket +1s lt:TunnelAgent[device] closed tcp socket +0ms

But on the cloud server, I only opened the port 1234 in ufw.

When I disabled ufw, everything started working! I'll continue playing around

@anthonyeric-son I'm experiencing a similar issue with AWS. I use EC2 for the server and Route 53 for DNS records, which are directed to the ALB with ACM for HTTPS. Sub-domains function properly when using the EC2 instance's IP address, but encounter issues when utilizing the ALB for HTTPS support. Security Group rules permit traffic from all sources. I would appreciate any assistance. I have been unable to resolve this for 10 days.
