Question : conneting to VNC from behind proxy
|
|
I installed ultravnc at home, and it's been working fine everywhere except for where I am now. This puzzled me until I remembered that here we're behind a proxy, so I'm guessing that's preventing me from connecting to my home computer from here. when I type http://myipaddress:5800, the applet loads, prompts for password, and then displays a "network error: could not connect to server: myipaddress:5900". I was wondering if there was a way to make this work. If you can help, thanks, it's greatly appreciated.

To connect to your VNC from behind a restricted proxy, you need to setup additional layer of tunneling software. As long as you are still allowed to access SSL/https than this can be done. You will need to do the following
ON SERVER: - install ORENOSP: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA027031/orenosp/index_en.html - generate certificate using the same software package - configure sproxy.conf to point to your VNC service - open port 443 (https)
ON CLIENT - configure otunnel.conf (found from same website location) - make sure your otunnel.conf is consistence with sproxy.conf - run otunnel.exe -c - run your remote client
with this setting it is even more secure than your previous setting since you are using SSL/https and your privacy is protected as well.
Good Luck
