I have some servers in my workplace and they are accessible via Intranet, I want to allow people from external network to access the gateway and all resources in that gateway.
Is there any way to do that without any special hardwares???
I tried installing Hamachi LogMEin ( Gateway Network ) but, it is taking too much time to connect using RDP.
I tried Insta Safe, they are charging bit high!
Although this is not programming related, I thought I would provide you with a solution which should help resolve your issue using OpenVPN and a Dynamic IP address.

As Chris mentioned, should you need further assistance, please try an alternative website, perhaps the suggested networkengineering would suffice.

I've set up Strongswan VPN with StrongMan(web-interface manager) on AWS.
It works great, my company employees can access contry-restricted site without any issues. But now I need to implement split-tunneling, because we also have to send terabytes of data, daily, to non-restricted sites.
I've coded small C# app that automaticaly manages split-tunneling routes with next command.
route ADD siteIP MASK 255.255.255.255 10.10.10.1 IF VPNInterfaceID
And it doesn't work like i'd like it to work.
Problem is: my DNS are leaking in split-tunnel mode.
If i route to "www.whatismyip.com" thru VPN, it masks my IP, so it works,
but i can't access restricted sites.
So i routed "www.dnsleaktest.com" thru VPN, and i can see that my DNS are in fact leaking.
I've found an app "Simple DNSCrypt", which fixed my problem, but i really dont want to use third-party software.
I'am very new to this topic, so any help would be appreciated.
I cant figure out how to hide my DNS.
Even overriding to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 doesnt help.
What can i do? What should i read and learn? What could be the problem?
Sorry for my poor use of English.
Thank you in advance!
I've figured it out. Maybe, this answer will help someone someday.
You have also route DNS adresses thru VPN (in my case 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4),
and "disabling" default ethernet adapter DNS by setting them to 127.0.0.1.
Dont forget to revert them back after disconnecting from VPN!
I have an ASP.NET web application that has been hosted in IIS local Machine.
My Question is :
Is there any free or paid method that allows browsing this web
application from the internet as Host Server ?
Thanks
The easiest way to to publish it directly onto the internet. You do run the risk of attackers then being able to attach your machine, so you will need to brush up on your security skills. It might be worth looking into one of the free hosting options from AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
To use your local machine as a web server, first, configure it to use a static IP. Its been a while since I've done it on windows, but this looks about right http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19249/how-to-assign-a-static-ip-address-in-xp-vista-or-windows-7/.
Next you will need to configure port forwarding on your model. You want to send all traffic on port 80 to your machine, using its new fixed IP address. If your using HTTPS as well, configure port 443 to go to your machine. There are too many different modem brands, all of which handle this slightly differently, to consider offering any more help on this. You will need to do some reading up on your particular modem for step-by-step instructions.
If your internet connection is using a fixed IP, then you can stop here.
If not, or if you just want a domain name, then its worth signing up for a dynamic dns service. I use No-ip, its free, it integrates with my modem and I haven't had any problems with it in the last few years. Once this is in place, you will be able to hit your webserver just like a real one. Using something like "http://mypc.no-ip.biz/mydemoapp/
But again, be warned about exposing your machine on the internet. There are nasty people out there who love to hijack other peoples computers.
Update:
This should give you some guidance on port forwarding
http://www.howtogeek.com/66214/how-to-forward-ports-on-your-router/
Try http://www.noip.com I just logged in and it seemed happy. Otherwise, have a click through all the settings in your modem looking for ddns or dynamic DNS. There is usually a drop down of all the providers that it will talk to. And some providers have apps that you run on your PC , which is easier that working with the modem for some. (Or for models that don't support ddns.)
I'm trying to connect to wamp from other computer.
I have a tp-link TD-8811. Is there any way to open my localhost from out
also i dont have a static IP.
A quick look at the specs for your TP-link device show that it is capable of DMZ and Virtual Server configurations. Please see here for a Step-by-Step: http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=205 I input your model number in the search and came up with this article. I hope this helps.
There are many options for accessing a dynamic IP from outside.
Almost all services that do CNAME aliases for dynamic IPs offer both free and paid services. I never felt the need to pay for a service that i only used occasionally... The paid packages are usually geared to make your life easier.
Look at: no-ip.com -or- dyndns.com -or- google: "connect to dynamic ip address" and take your pick from the results.
After all of this is done, I'd seriously consider setting up (as an absolute minimum) a quick and dirty encrypted channel for your security. Your Router does not support IPsec/VPN, but that doesn't mean that you cannot ssh to your computer (regardless of host/client OS). There are also port-knocking methods to "speak" to your PC's firewall and instruct it to open your desired data port. You'll need to forward a few more ports from your router to get this set up, but if you'll achieve a closed system that you can open and close again on demand.
Apologies for the non-howto style of this answer, I hope it helps.
I need my app to be able access an third party API who limits access based on a single, static IP Address.
Due to the dynamic nature of the Heroku dynos and routing mesh, this is not possible - I'll need something with a fixed IP Address to act as a proxy.
An US East EC2 Linux/Nginx instance would seem the sensible choice, but these seems like a lot of work/maintenance for something pretty trivial. Does anyone know of any services out there that do this?
Ok so after a bit of research I've discovered the best way to do this currently is indeed with an AWS US East EC2 instance running some sort of proxy. I've gone with linux/nginx.
I've also learned there is a Heroku add-on currently in alpha stage of development that will handle exactly this requirement. If you'd like to test it, get in touch with Heroku support.
You can also use the Proximo add-on to get a static outbound IP address via proxy without any of the maintenance headaches.
This may be a general topic, but I came across the issue while working on some code using the Rook package.
The recent R versions include an http server. You may have seen this while checking for help topics using RGui. It opens a new browser with the IP/Port, etc.
For eg., if I enter ?paste, this brings up,
http://127.0.0.1:31234/library/.../paste.html
But if I use my IP, say 192.168.1.2 in place of 127.0.0.1, the page fails to load, I get an error
While trying to retrieve the URL:http://192....
The following error was encountered:
We can not connect to the server you have requested
I have other apps that have httpd interfaces, and I can go to those app's http interfaces using both 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.2 ... etc. So, as far as system/network permissions are concerned - I do not think that is the issue here.
Rather, there is something specific to the R httpd process that disallows it to be accessed using the domain name, etc ?
The above was tested in a corporate network. When I tried the same process from my home network it worked fine. However, since I already access http interfaces of many other locally installed apps from the corporate PC, I think there might be something specific to R's http process that needs to be checked ?
Workstation is running - Windows XP
Please let me know if you have any thoughts on the above,
Regards,
Raj.
Fixed it. The trick is to specify,
s <- Rhttpd$new()
s$start(listen="0.0.0.0",port="20000")
when starting the Rook process. Specifying 0.0.0.0 makes it listen to all the interfaces and now I can access it using my external IP. Thanks a lot for your help nonetheless !
When opening a TCP port, the local IP address may be chosen. For incoming connections, typically INADDR_ANY (-1) is supplied to bind(), which means to open the port on every available interface.
However, it is quite possible to open a port on just one interface on your machine (in this case, 127.0.0.1), simply by supplying the IP address of the interface. Seems that R does just this.
My guess is that you may have a proxy in place on your corporate network. Your browser is probably configured to use that proxy to access the Internet. Most browsers will exclude an address which they know to be local (127.0.0.1 or localhost) from using the proxy, but might not exclude any other IP.
Try disabling the proxy in your browser (even "Auto-Detect", completely turn the proxy off) and see if you're able to connect.
I had the same problem.
If you are using RStudio, this might be a bug in the RStudio. Check out this link:
https://support.rstudio.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202656007-Cryptic-error-on-starting-RStudio-daily-with-R-devel
Updating to the latest version of RStudio with the latest version of R fixes the problem.
