Back up phpMyAdmin You should back up your current phpMyAdmin folder by renaming it. sudo mv /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /usr/share/phpmyadmin.bak Create a new phpMyAdmin folder sudo mkdir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ Change to directory cd /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ 2.

Port Forward | NO-IP Setup
https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/general-port-forwarding-guide/ How to Port Forward – General Guide to Multiple Router Brands Here’s a great video that explains the basics of port forwarding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLunOJZqmc0 If you have a router at home or your office, you will need to forward ports in order for outside traffic to get into your network. Think of your router as being a huge electric fence or wall, with a few doors or openings. This electric fence or wall serves as your barrier and security blanket from the scary outside Internet world. Your router comes preconfigured with a few of those doors (or ports) open to let you access the internet, but the others are closed tight. So, in order to run a mail server, game server, access your computer remotely, etc you will need to open an extra door or two in your router in order for the outside traffic to get inside. This is called Port Forwarding. Step

Reverse Proxy & Internal and External Urls w/ WordPress
How the Reverse Proxy Handles HTTP to HTTPS When you set up a reverse proxy, here’s how it works: External HTTPS Request: A user visits https://spiffynasty.com/blahblahblah/ (secured with HTTPS). The reverse proxy (on spiffynasty.com) receives this request over HTTPS. Internal Forwarding to HTTP: The reverse proxy forwards this request internally to your NAS using HTTP, like http://192.168.1.30/blahblahblah/. The connection between spiffynasty.com and 192.168.1.30 (your NAS) is happening over your local network, so it’s secure in the sense that it’s not exposed to the outside world. Response from NAS: Your NAS (192.168.1.30) serves the requested content back to the reverse proxy over HTTP. Secure Response to the Client: The reverse proxy then encrypts the response (via HTTPS) and sends it back to the user as https://spiffynasty.com/blahblahblah/. Why It’s Safe: The critical point is that the public-facing side (what users interact with) is over HTTPS, secured by the certificate you set up on spiffynasty.com. The internal communication
