Hello community,

I am running JD on my raspberry with neither having desktop installed or the power to run a current browser.
I would like to use another computer's browser for captcha analyzing. Is it possible to forward 24613 to another machine using SSH? Did anyone succeed with this, yet?

that might not be possible, you are better off using my.jd platform and connect locally to your jd instance.

Please use https://my.jdownloader.org/ for that

So there is no way for people who do not want to use my.jd?

[raztoki]

at this time no, and the my.jdownloader extension is required to solve the most popular captcha challenge (recaptchaV2).

MyJDownloader and the browser extension provides so called direct connection mode. In this mode the traffic is direct between client and your JDownloader. Only session handling, event notification still happens through our server.

MyJDownloader uses real end2end encryption and your password never left your computer. You can verify this by writing your own clients/tools as the api/client is open, see https://my.jdownloader.org/developers/

As an alternative I can add optional resuse last port so you can setup forwarding rules yourself and then use browser extension remotely without MyJDownloader.

This would be great!

So is 24613 the port we talk about?

That should already be possible but the port may change each time at the moment

I just checked the current logic and port will be reused, so yes you should be able to port forward from remoteIP:port to localmaschine-127.0.0.1:port
Port port is bound to localhost
should work via ssh
ssh -R 24613:127.0.0.1:24613 ....
Then you can use the MyJDownloader browser extension and open the same url on local machine and port forwarding will forward to your JDownloader machine

In case you need further help with this, just contact us again

Unfortunately it does not work:
1. JD2 does not always use 24613. I get all kinds of different ports in the log.
2. Even when I am reverse tunneling with ssh -R 24613:127.0.0.1:24613 myuser@myserver I get

SEVERE [ Log.L.log ] -> java.io.IOException: Unsupported OpenBrowser:**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
at org.appwork.utils.os.CrossSystem.openUrlOrThrowException(CrossSystem.java:427)

I think the software answering on my localmachine is missing. FireFox is running.

You've got to run JDownloader with head so *openbrowser* works.
JDownloader tries to use last port and only in case it's not possible, it will use different one. Settings-Advanced Settings-BrowserCaptchaSolver.localhttpport
