Hi there
Just installed UrBackup server to serve clients internally and over Internet.
Some of my Linux clients located on same subnet.
Client install performed using web interface of the server as: “Name of new Internet client/client behind NAT” option to get snapshoot options to run. Script downloaded, and install performed.
I found all of my Linux clients wanted to have connection via public IP doing hairpin connection (client => Firewall=>server) which traffic is blocked. That is mean no connection because no firewall rules to allow.
Question: Which config file should be edited and how to force my clients communicate directly to my server? (instead of hairpining)
service up and running for a while

Valid settings:
“client-confirms”: If you have the GUI component the currently active user
will need to confirm restores from the web interface.
If you have no GUI component this will cause restores
from the server web interface to not work
“server-confirms”: The server will ask the user starting the restore on
the web interface for confirmation
“disabled”: Restores via web interface are disabled.
Restores via urbackupclientctl still work
RESTORE=disabled
