I'm wanting to set up my network to be able to access my rigs while I'm away from home.
From the rest of your post I can tell that you don't understand what you are doing with your network. If you keep opening ports the end result will be that the remote hackers will have better control of your network than you.

With your level of knowledge the only way to do it is to keep one Mac permanently at home and configure your Airport to allow only Apple Remote Desktop to your at-home Mac. Alternatively you could use "Get To My Mac" service from Apple.

After that you can buy the Mac OSX Server upgrade from Apple (less than $20) and set up your own VPN and other services that are described in the OSX Server documentation. Reading the OSX Server docs will also help you to learn and understand the networking basics, both general IP and the Apple specifics (like afp:// not aft://).

No matter what you do you will have to have a permanent (or nearly permanent) computer that monitors your home farm over the LAN. If you don't yet have a spare Mac at home than buying a Mac Mini and installing a server upgrade on it is the best way to spend time and money.

Have fun, just don't become another basket case Mac user with home network owned by hackers.

Edit: Ha, ha! Our posts were seconds apart!
Should I just set up one of my Mac Mini's to stay on all the time and access it via "Back to My Mac" to have access to my rigs?

You need to explain your network topology more.

I would think that the ip address would be assigned to your router not your computer.

It is assigned to my router.  Sorry if I didn't explain well enough.

Currently what is running the NAT to assign IP's to your network devices? Your router or are you already running ICS?

My Airport Base Station Extreme tells me it is presently set up for DHCP and NAT.  I manually assigned my rigs an IP address in DHCP.  I do not use Windows for ICS.  I have all Mac devices other than my mining rigs.

Normally with a router managed network you would have to setup the port mapping on the router, you won't need ICS

So yeah, more info needed.

Yes, I'm looking at the window for port mapping but have no clue what service to enter in under port mapping.  I listed those services in my previous post.

Here is an example of the drop down window for port mapping:



On another note I wouldn't recommend putting a money making machine directly accessible on the internet even if you are obfuscating the port used.

You could restrict access to the ports to certain IP addresses, but by far the best way would be to setup a VPN, especially as you are planning on having a large farm.

Then once you VPN in you are on your network as a local node and can access everything as if you were right there!

Yes, I would agree about the VPN.  I have no idea how to set one up.  Should I focus my energy on doing that instead of port mapping right now?

Hi everyone,

I'm wanting to set up my network to be able to access my rigs while I'm away from home.  I have a static IP [not dynamic] assigned by my ISP.  I have my home network set up for DHCP and NAT.  I have assigned an IP address for each rig in DHCP.

I'm assuming I would set up "port mapping" to connect to my rigs.  However, I'm not sure under what service in port mapping I should set up my rigs for.  Here are the services available in settings for port mapping:

Personal File Sharing
Windows Sharing
Personal Web Sharing
Remote Login - SSH
FTP Access
Apple Remote Desktop
Screen Sharing - VNC
Windows Remote Desktop
Remote Apple Events
Printer Sharing
POP Mail
POP Mail with SSL
IMAP Mail
IMAP Mail with SSL
SMTP Mail
QuickTime Streaming Server
XMPP - Jabber
iChat File Transfer Proxy
OS X Server VPN - ISAKMP/IKE
OS X Server VPN - L2TP
OS X Server VPN - PPTP
OS X Server VPN - NAT Traversal
Remote Server Administration
Lights Out Monitoring
Remote Directory Access

Once I choose a service to port through to the rigs, what do I need to enter in the address bar of my browser in front of the static IP address my ISP gave me?  For example:  With Personal File Sharing chosen as a service, it is my understanding we enter in aft://then IP address:and port number.

Also, is their anything in particular I need to tell the SP20's to access them remotely?

It's always best to use a good quality class 10 SD card, but I've also had SD recovery failures with them & had to RMA it, so sometimes the controller board/BBB is to blame also  Wink

Yeah, I always use class 10 cards in my miners, but I only had a class 4 in hand when I tried. Guess I'll go out and get a class 10 to try again. What is the procedure exactly? Write the recovery image to SD, power the machine off, insert SD, power on, and wait? How long should it take? When I tried it (twice) all that was happening was that the green and yellow LEDs were blinking rapidly intermittently. I waited a good 6-7 minutes each time, then powered off and removed the SD card.

I'm thinking about selling my SP30, currently in hosting (USA).

Do you think now would be a good time, because spondoolies is sold out? I've searched ebay, but couldn't find any SP30 (but several "new" SP31 for over $2700 - LOL).

Do you know what a good price would be?

I have seen them listed last week for $1600 shipped to the USA. Roadstress had them listed for sale and he seems to be pretty legit with Spondoolies. I wish I had the power to plug in one of them  Angry

congrats on the total sell off of your inventory. Not an easy thing to do for any business Smiley

I am having a problem with one of my miners, an sp31. when i try to log on it behaves as if i got the password wrong. so i can not access my miner, it is still mining but not on my pool, since it is still consuming the full 12amps. I have tried doing the SD recovery and the SD boot. Both did not work. I was wondering does anybody else maybe have a possible solution to this problem i am experiencing?
I have solved the problem that i was experiencing. I will share the knowledge here for everyone's benefit. It turns out that you need at least a class 10 Micro SD card or the SD boot or SD recovery will not work. Hopefully that saves someone else from the trouble and stress that i just went through thinking that one of my units had just died lol. Spondoolies, I suggest that you should also add that to your SD-Card instructions page.

Can anyone confirm this? To me, it doesn't make sense since the speed of the card shouldn't matter. I'm curious because I have an SP20E that will only work using an SD boot card (and it's class 4) and using a recovery SD was unable to fix the SP20E.

Right.  Bitcrane 110s. I bought 5 of them to evaluate the noise level but ended up going with SP31s for versatility and power.  Glad I did.  These are nice pieces of equipment.  Had to add 200A to house service (400A) and set up for cooling. The airflow is really important in keeping these cool (as you know).

I'm running the 31s at 750w/750w and getting 3500 Ghs.  I'm putting in some additional top wall venting today so I will probably turn up the power tonight.



Nice job.  Just set up my mine....finally.


Of course, biggest challenge is keeping everything cool.  Have 25,000 BTUs blowing at units with exhaust registers in the wall behind with 8" inline fans pumping heat out ducts to foundation vents.  Also have Dayton exhaust fans in the top wall.  Barely stays cool enough, underclocked it's about 85F.



Nice clean setup! Question, what are the miners with the yellow stripe on them?
