I tested the PING and got a message
C:\Users\damat>ping 9fbccf7e-7a13-4995-4.mproxy.io
Ping request could not find host 9fbccf7e-7a13-4995-***.mproxy.io. Please check the name and try again.Here is my router setup options page, I did not see anywhere to add an exception for *.mproxy.io to allow DNS Rebinding.
Looking for any help that can be given.

FYI, you should not have to expose any open ports on your router to use monocle with Alexa. You also don’t need DDNS … unless you are configuring camera RTSP URLs with public addresses rather than internal private addresses.
So …
Ping request could not find host 9fbccf7e-7a13-4995-97de-0fb1892bc974.mproxy.io. Please check the name and try again.
is definitely a problem … most likely DNS REBINDING.I’m not familiar with Luxul routers so you may have to check with the manufactures support team or if they have a forum that you could ask on.
The other option would be if your router allows you to override a custom DNS host. You could define hostname:
9fbccf7e-7a13-4995-97de-0fb1892bc974.mproxy.io.
and point it to your internal address of the gateway:192.168.1.10
.Basically the Alexa devices on your network need to resolve this DNS hostname and be able to resolve to your gateway instance.
If you just can’t find a way to disable DNS REBINDING, provide a single host exception to DNS REBINDING or OVERRIDE the custom DNS HOST, there is one other option we could try, but that would involve exposing ports over the Internet and custom firewall/NAT routing. So lets only go there as a last resort.
Thanks, Robert

@Monocle I see noting in my router for defining a custom DNS Host or any override.
I already expose a few ports over the internet, so i’m open to what your suggestion is.
-
@Monocle So i tried running the Gateway service on another computer running windows 7 on the same network and it does show me the Ping.
But my amazon Fire TV 4K is still saying “No response from camera”
Stream plays fine on VLC

I’m pretty certain, especially based on your logs, this is all related to the DNS REBINDING issue. The logs show the Monocle Gateway receiving the instruction from the cloud to setup the camera stream, but there is never any connection attempts from the Alexa devices, which we would expect to see in . the log data.
So what is most likely happening is that the Alexa devices are being given the *.mproxy.io (your specific FQDN as shown in your log) address to connect to … which should resolve to the local IP address of your Monocle Gateway server instance. But because nodes on your network are not able to resolve the hostname (due to DNS REBINDING blocking by the router) the request is failing inside the Alexa devices.
Pinging the hostname on the gateway instance itself will sometimes work, but to test this properly, you would need to test this from anther node on your network.
So, if you want to try this alternate method, you can setup an inbound connection on your router to accept connections on port 443 and then redirect them internally to the local IP address of your Monocle Gateway instance. (NAT). In addition to this, you will need to provide a custom configuration for the Monocle Gateway to use your public IP address or public DNS hostname (if you are using a DynDSN).
You can find this custom config file and instructions here:
https://monoclecam.com/monocle-gateway/custom-configurationYou can device a custom “HOST” if using your public IP address or you can define “FQDN” if using your own DDNS hostname.
-
-
Yes, inbound port 443 should be directed to port 443 on IP address 192.168.1.20 (your gateway).
And you must add the monocle.properties file and override either the HOST or FQDN properties with your public IP or DNS hostname. (and restart monocle gateway to pickup the new properties).
-
I changed the properties file to read
#--------------------------------------
RTSP SERVICE REGISTRATION OVERRIDES
#--------------------------------------
#rtsp.register.fqdn=
#rtsp.register.host=myddnsname.ddns.net
#rtsp.register.port=443But when I start the service, it still shows
MONOCLE RTSP SERVICE - INITIALIZED
FQDN = 9fbccf7e-7a13-4995-************.mproxy.io
HOST = 192.168.1.20
PORT = 443Is that correct?
I tried doing a ping from another pc on my network
C:\Users\damat>ping 9fbccf7e-7a13-4995-97de-**********.mproxy.io
Ping request could not find host 9fbccf7e-7a13-4995-9***********.mproxy.io. Please check the name and try again. -
@Monocle also, I did forward port 443 to 192.168.1.20 , but its still not visible from the outside of my network. tested with https://canyouseeme.org/
-
In the properties file you have to remove the “
#
” symbol for each line you want to be effective. The “#
” is a comment symbol to comment out the line, so it should probably look like this:#rtsp.register.fqdn= rtsp.register.host=YOUR_PULIC_IP_ADDRESS #rtsp.register.port=443
It just dawned on me that you can’t simply use your own DDNS unless you have a SSL certificate for it as well. So let’s just use the “HOST” property and assign your actual public IP address.
When the monocle servers get this information when the gateway connects, your custom *.mproxy.io address will be updated to resolve to your public IP address instead of the private address. This could take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. You can try pinging the hostname and it should resolve to your public IP when its all working. I would also suggest rebooting the Alexa devices after the DNS is resolving properly. The Alexa devices seem to cache DNS records longer than we would expect.
Thanks, Robert
-
@Monocle I put my actual IP address in the HOST and removed the #.
so after about 15 minutes, if i ping 9fbccf7e-7a13-4995-97de-0fb******974.mproxy.io it should come back to my “Actual IP Address”?
I tried canyouseeme.org again and nothing on port 443
If I ping another port I have opened in my router, that port shows open, so I know i’m setting the port forwarding correct
Could port 443 be blocked by my ISP?
-
Yes, And the ping is already working for me from here. It’s resolving to a 50.x address.
When all this is working, you may want to generate a new monocle token file and delete the old one. A new token file will give you a new DNS hostname. Usually this really would not matter, but since you are making this address public, it might be a good idea not to have the hostname or real IP published in a public forum.Thanks, Robert
-
@Monocle I set up a new token, im still unable to see port 443 from the outside, but wen i tried to see the camera with the firetv, it took a few seconds before she said “tHE CAMERA IS NOT RESPONDING”.
i got the following data in the gateway window.

OK, we are making progress here. The port forwarding is working and the DNS must be resolving properly because we now see the Alexa device making a TCP connection to the gateway and the gateway then connecting and communicating with the camera.
However, after the stream is initiated successfully and starts to PLAY, the Alexa device is forcefully disconnecting. I’m not sure why its disconnecting … everything looks to be OK.
Try the tips at the bottom of this page. Specifically try using the tag
@proxy-tcp
instead of@tunnel
Thanks, Robert
