My TO has minimal config, with minor changes. I have installed Plex Server, 3dmark and a few other servers which install locally and listen on some ports. I enter localhost:port or 127.0.01:port in a browser (tried many) and can’t connect to any of them. All servers are unavailable.
This was working out-of-the-box in my old OpenWRT router. Why is TO blocking me?
Did you install your servers on TO?
If yes address wiil not be localhost from clients but hostname of TO or IP of TO (if you did not change default than 192.168.1.1:port)
Not yet. E.g. the latest 3dmark benchmark works as a local client-server app only and I can’t run it, because TO is blocking all connections of this type. Strange? Disabling KIS didn’t help. I can’t make any connections to localhost.
All servers I tested (need) are windows apps (except Plex Server), that can’t be installed on TO.
Hi, I do not think that TO is blocking access to localhost on windows - issue can be windows firewall or antivirus blocking your access - you can check it first.
I’ll check again when I get back home from work. As I said before, disabling Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) didn’t help, and enabling KIS disables windows firewall (it should). Will let you know.
You installed Plex, 3dmark, and “a few other servers” on where? Your Omnia, or a local windows server? AFAIK there isn’t a Plex server for the Omnia (and if there were, it would probably have poor transcoding performance).
If you installed these applications on a local windows box (you say you’re going to 127.0.0.1) then the Omnia really has nothing to do with the connection, you’re trying to get your local browser to talk to a local server, then it would be a local firewall blocking the connection. Check your windows firewall settings (whatever software you’re using).
If you’re trying to access your Windows server from outside your house you’ll need to know your external IP address and set up port-forwarding to your internal Windows server, along with having the appropriate access rules in Windows to allow outside access.
Local windows PC. You can have Plex in a LXC container. I do not know anything about its performance.

Omnia should have nothing to do with this issue… Should not… I’m not a noob, and already tried disabling all security software that could run on my PC - before I started this topic. This does not help. Nothing helps, as for now. I only run KIS, windows firewall is disabled.
Hosts file on PC - default one. Windows is freshly installed, clean and with all updates.
I never said you were a “noob” I was simply pointing out that establishing a network connection to “localhost” shouldn’t even leave the system itself (assuming the IP stack was properly developed, as it is in Windows), so the packets wouldn’t hit the Omnia to be rejected.
Try unplugging or disabling your network interface. If you still can’t hit your servers locally it’s definitely something in your OS/security software.
I’ve already tried that earlier - did not help. I will have to investigate further. You can have many, many years of IT experience, but there is always something new to explore.
Yup, and it’s hard for us to understand what’s going on with your server since we’re not there looking at it.
