Ok, so my bitcoin node (0.15.1) is running, and fully synced up with the network. I'm using python and the 'bitcoinrpc' package. I want to access the RPC server from outside my network. I have RPC set up on the normal port 8332 which is opened up on my router. I have rpcallowip configured to the address of the computer I'm connecting from.

When I run my python program I get the following error, which I am having a hard time tracking down. (my program is called 'PollForAddress.py')

  File "PollForAddress.py", line 46, in <module>
    mempool = nodeRPC.getrawmempool()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py", line 139, in __call__
    response = self._get_response()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py", line 187, in _get_response
    'code': -342, 'message': 'non-JSON HTTP response with \'%i %s\' from server' % (http_response.status, http_response.reason)})
bitcoinrpc.authproxy.JSONRPCException: -342: non-JSON HTTP response with '403 Forbidden' from server

any ideas whats going wrong?

it looks like the server rejected the connection from client, try use this rpcallowip instead and see if it helps.

rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0

Above decrease the rpc security but will allow all connection reguardless their ip address
