Internet mode security- How do I know if internet mode is active

client
1

Hey,

I am currently testing out Urbackup. For that I have a sever (Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS) and a client (also Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS).

I installed the client via the Server Web UI (Add new Internet/active client) and followed the instructions there.

My/etc/default/urbackupclien file has following entry:

#If true client will not bind to any external network ports (either true or false)
INTERNET_ONLY=true

Does that mean the internet mode is active? How do I confirm it is active/the communication between client and server is encrypted?

Thank you very much,

Fred

If this is configured it’ll only use Internet mode. Note that local transfers are now encrypted as well per default.

You can check via urbackupclientctl status

You can also check if you have open connections to the server port from the client via e.g. netstat -a
