Running Moodle Behind A Masquerading Firewall

You may be running Moodle behind a Masquerading Firewall (using Network Address Translation or NAT). In this case your internal Moodle server will most likely be assigned a non-routable (private) IP address in one of the following ranges:

  • 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
  • 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
  • 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

You can not use internal ip address or internal server name in config.php if you want to access the server from Internet too.

TODO: add explanation how to setup DNS in intranet so that the same name points to private address from intranet and public address from Internet. --Petr Škoda (škoďák) 12:49, 16 January 2007 (CST)
