Who is connecting...

Is there any simple way t osee what IP is connecting to my IP on port 22090?
Is there a way t okeep a log?

Have you tried looking at the "System Log" page?

 

[Nas.CloudBusinessPortal]

Yes, but that does not give me any information on the person connecting to my 192.168.1.196:22090

Set the firewall to log all packets, let it run for a period of your choosing, download the log file and search it for 22090.
Any help?

I will try this. I was hoing for a more defined way.... There is alot of other traffic going in and out of the home network.
Stream video is alot. But people logging in to control the 'video' I would like to know about.

This would also be ongoing too.

I also thinking about wireshark on the compuer listening to that port only.

Seems really strange to me this. You're wanting people to visit your unsecured site to control a model train? And you want to view their IPs?
I'm out.

The software that commuicates with the digital train control hardware and the computer is freeware, called JMRI.
There curreently is no wat to sercure that link, unless i do a reversse proxy, so that is not in the cards yet.

Yes its an expensive toy.... I limit the speed people can travel. I can cotrol alot more things like signals and switches remotely.

Untill there software developes more, Its either all or nobdy for access t othe train layout. So I'm looking for ways to see who is the engineer at times.
If there is an issue, I can block the IP address from connecting.

I've only have one train crash..... I currently have about 10-30 people a bay using the trains. I'm hoing t oput other layouts on-line shortly, like club layouts and museums

Your model train setup is very nice. You can enable logging, use external log server and filter the logs in software. This will give you the IPs connecting, but you have to find a way to extract and process the data to find the country of origin at least.

Not that I think this is a particularly practical idea, but you could have this command running continuously logging to a file:

conntrack -E --dst-nat 192.168.1.196 --event-mask NEW --log /tmp/train.log

Where 192.168.1.196 is the LAN IP address of your train server and /tmp/train.log is stored somewhere sensible.
