I have set up a web server on a separate VLAN and configured an object for the webserver to allow tcp port 80 communication, the access list and access group is also set up. But I can't reach the server from outside.

I have been googling and looking at answers here, but none of them have allowed me to access the server.

I have checked that the web server up and running, and that it's reachable from inside the network using it's ip.

Here's the relevant parts of the config: 

!
interface Vlan1
 nameif outside
 security-level 0
 ip address dhcp 
!
interface Vlan2
 nameif inside
 security-level 100
 ip address 10.5.1.1 255.255.255.0 
!
interface Vlan3
 no forward interface Vlan2
 nameif dmz
 security-level 50
 ip address 10.4.1.1 255.255.255.0 
!             

dns server-group DefaultDNS
 domain-name mastermind.local

object network dev-server-internal 
 host 10.4.1.2
object network inside-net 
 subnet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
object network dev-server-external 
 host 10.4.1.2
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any host 10.4.1.2 eq www 

!
object network dev-server-internal
 nat (inside,dmz) dynamic interface
object network inside-net
 nat (inside,outside) dynamic interface
object network dev-server-external
 nat (dmz,outside) static interface service tcp www www 
access-group outside_access_in in interface outside
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.15.166.1 1

dhcpd dns 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
dhcpd auto_config outside
!
dhcpd address 10.5.1.2-10.5.1.32 inside
dhcpd enable inside
!
dhcpd address 10.4.1.2-10.4.1.2 dmz
dhcpd enable dmz
!

So the idea is that the VLAN "inside" is used for regular users and VLAN "dmz" is for the web server. There will only be one server connected to VLAN "dmz", that's why I have only allowed dhcp for one address.

I added the object "dev-server-internal" to allow users from inside to access the web server directly using it's ip (10.4.1.2).

So what can I do to being able to access the web server from the outside?

Here's what the show nat gives me after trying to reach the web server from the outside:

Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)
1 (dmz) to (outside) source static dev-server-external interface service tcp www www 
    translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0
2 (inside) to (dmz) source dynamic dev-server-internal interface
    translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0
3 (any) to (outside) source dynamic inside-net interface
    translate_hits = 1160, untranslate_hits = 149

  • I can't see any problems with your config. Have you tried using packet tracer? packet-tracer input outside tcp 1.2.3.4 2501 10.4.1.2 80

  • Are you trying to hit this from the internet or just from outside the firewall? I just noticed you're routing to a 10. address.

  • See my edit with the packet tracer. I'm trying to access it from the internet. The firewall's VLAN outside is connected directly to our ISP's fiber modem.

  • Ahh ok. What is the subnet mask of the IP address that your ISP is providing via DHCP? Also try doing another packet-tracer command but change 10.4.1.2 to the outside interface IP. If you can, post the output of your show route command

  • The subnet mask is 255.255.254.0 and IP is 94.254.4.141. I've added a packet trace for outside interface IP in my answer. I noticed that the route command contains wrong IP, 10.15.166.1 was the old IP before the router got access to ISP public IP. Could this be the problem?

Putting this in an answer to make it easier to format. This command may be posing a problem:

object network dev-server-internal
 nat (inside,dmz) dynamic interface

I would go ahead and get rid of this entry and identity nat your inside network over to the DMZ like so:

object network internal-hosts2
 subnet 10.5.1.0 255.255.255.0
 nat (inside,dmz) static 10.5.1.0

Also instead of using a static route, do this under vlan 1 to have dhcp renew and automatically set your default route from dhcp

interface vlan 1
no ip address dhcp
ip address dhcp setroute

Now try a packet capture on your outside interface. Add the acl in config mode and the capture command in normal exec mode

access-list test extended permit tcp any interface outside eq www
capture test access-list test interface outside

Then after you try to hit your website from the internet do a show capture to see if any packets made it to your firewall.

  • I remove the whole dev-server-internal object, and added the new one you suggested. However, the network command was not recognized.

  • Still getting "ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker." at the e of "network". You didn't mean subnet instead of network?

  • Yep you're right. Sorry I try to stay away from ASA 8.3+.

  • Alright, I applied both of the changes. I get the same result when doing a packet-tracer on 10.5.1.4, except for doing ACCESS-LIST in Phase 1, it no performs CP-PUNT in Phase 1. But still dropping in rpf-check.

No amount of auto NAT will make a web server available on the outside interface.

There must be a static NAT rule from the DMZ machine to the outside, possibly for port 80 only if that's what you want.

  • I see, how would I go about to change my current setup to use static NAT so that the dmz machine is reachable for port 80 only?
