Description
In Filezilla server 1.5.1 the field called use the following host (leave empty to use the default one) doesn't appear to be working correctly. I believe that before version 1 that field was the Get External IP. When trying to setup a passive FTP session I get an error back that server sent an unrouteable address. It sends back an RFC1918 address. When I try to paste in the original http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php I get connected but I get errors on the client that it cannot prepare for the data connection. If I enter in my dynamic DNS name in that field I get the same result. The only way to get it to work is to put in my public IP in that field which is a dynamic IP.
When I go to http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php I get an error NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
You cannot visit ip.filezilla-project.org right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.
You need to either enter an IPv4 address, or a raw hostname that resolves to the desired IPv4 address.
