Cannot Access MediaWiki from other networks

Hello,

thanks for this great tool.

We installed it on our Synology Nas. It works very well when we access it from the local wifi.

The moment we try to access it from another network (vpn, phone network) we get error message (below).

We can access the interface of our NAS from any network (so they refuse responsibility).


Help would be greatly apreciated.

Thank you!

Please provide information how you set up MediaWiki to be accessed. Which address do you enter into your web browser in your local network? Which address to you enter into your web browser in another network?

403 errors are caused by a rule configured on the web server (not MediaWiki). Look at web server configuration, or logs to see what rule is applying to deny access from external networks.
