How can I turn a Windows 2003 Server into a proxy host? - Networking

It's Windows Server 2003 Server 64 bit. How can I make this a proxy I can access on other computers? I can't turn it into a VPN because it says that I only have one NIC and if I try to get around that by using customized instead of simple VPN, the RRAS service doesnt start with error 0x2. I can't use the SFC command because it says that I am not an administrator and I am as well as running it as admin. What can I do to solve any problem?

You could always install Cygwin and do a SSH server.

I can't seem to find a way to set this up on the server side. I know that my firewall is turned off but when attempting to connect to it, it only shows a blank DOS windows or command prompt with a green curser. When doing this from my unhindered internet at home (no webpages blocked, which is what I am trying to bypass) it allows me to login but not share the internet connection. Would you like to point me to a decent tutorial? Sorry for taking up your time with my stupid questions and problems.

It doesn't do anything. It says connection refused at client side. With BetVise ssh running, it doesnt help, but it does let me login.

nice to see this...

Can someone tell me how is get this app to work?
Can't connect to my PC at all.
Cheers!
Hmm. I'll get back to you on this. I knew how to do this before lol. I just use LogMeIn now (Logmein.com)
i use"real VNC" it's very easy to handle and works good....
Imma try to get "real VNC" to work, thanks!
Still hope to hea from you soon Kraize92
EDIT: Uh, is there a specific VNC for WM6? Cause now I only got it on XP .. how do i get a VNC viewer on my Diamond?
Cheers!
http://www.realvnc.com/products/beta/ce/
DotNet VNC is an excellent viewer for WM5/6. One single (tiny) exe, no install, fully functional:
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/
I'm using the beta 1.0.1.17 with no problems. Just note that when you click connect, the window will disappear momentarily as it connects to your host/vnc server.
RDP--you must disable proxy..
Microsoft RDP requires the proxy be disabled, at least for the AT&T network version.. There is access in the settings menu to enable/disable the proxy.
I can remote control my servers over the Internet through my firewall just fine, using Server 2003 RRAS as my RDP server. Should be the same for MS Small Business Server 2003.
(Note:the AT&T proxy filters out the GRE packet type needed for MS version of RDP).
You might need to re-enable the proxy for normal Web surfing..

Im behind a router, mac filtered, and was wondering what was the best way to reach my pc's using VNC... Is there a step-by-step on this somewhere?
Just port forward?
I just found PhoneMyPC and connected without problems. How secure is this? I'm just using this to monitor an additional computer.

If you are connected to the network via wifi then you should not have any issues as long as you have the server setup right. To connect over 3g i would sign up for a noip.com account and set up port forwarding for the vnc port(ussually 5900).
If i have time later ill make a quick write up. Are you on windows?

I would also be interested in a walk through on this.i mainly use vista home premium but am inclined to use ubuntu 10.04 once in a while. I know my open source router supports vnc

[Q] Setting up a VPN that my xoom can access.

I want to set up a VPN at home that my xoom can access. I tried a simple PPTP with dd-wrt but I can't seem to access or ping anything, even though it connects. I want to do this so I don't have to forward SSH, RDP, and other ports that expose my stuff to the outside world.
At home I am running a DD-WRT gateway with a linux server as well as a Windows Server 2008 VM behind the gateway, any could host the VPN service.
I don't need instructions on how to set up the VPN, but advice on what is compatible with android's built in VPN support.
Thanks in advance for any input.

The windows vpn service works fine for me
I was under the impression I needed to set up a domain to use the included windows VPN service, and I wasn't looking to set up a domain.
Is this an incorrect assumption?

Here's a link to getting OpenVPN working. Must admit it looks like it's not for everyone.

That was not necessary for me. If it is a requirement, it is specific to Windows Server edition
I have a Windows PPTP VPN that my Xoom can connect to. You do not need to set up a domain.
Unfortunately there is a bug in Android that makes it lose connection to the VPN after a few minutes/seconds.
See here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706
I just bypass androids native VPN and use Neo Router free. Available in the market. You just set up a Neo server on the computer you want to control and use the android app to open an encrypted connection to that computer. You can set up the app to forward any ports to the computer running the server. Works well. Right now im running splashtop remote and plex using it so i dont have to port forward the ports for those apps in my router.
Thanks for all the input. I am working on OpenVPN. I almost have it working (I already have my router set up for OpenVPN, just didn't know I could use it).

My data connection. Sometimes it won't let me access sites like Facebook. So I need HTTP instead of https

The best way to do it is install something like squid and ssh on a computer you have at home them tunnel in with ssh and forward a local port to the squid proxy server at home. That's what i used to do to get around content filters at libraries so i could get on Facebook and stuff. You can get all the stuff you need as portable apps on a usb drive.
The easiest way, though, is to just enable a vpn server on your router or computer and use the built in vpn functions on android to route all traffic through the tunnel. The big problem with that is that you cannot use it on an untrusted device because it's like connecting it directly to your home network. Any worms on it can infect any computer at home.
If you need step by step instructions I'd be happy to help with either method, but I'll need to know more specifics about your home setup. If you have a router that supports dd-wrt, there is a great guide to the vpn method in this same forum.

Server 2012 VPN Login script?

Hello guys.
i have been trying to configure my windows server 2012 to an vpn server.

i have tried to google but all i found was not good enough information for what i want.
does anyone has an idea?
thanks
You can try this...you can configure it to get different options....its for windows server 2008 but the procedure is the same on the server 2012 as I think..

To launch a program on the user PC when it connects instantly to the VPN, I think you need a virus...
Correct me if I understood you wrong..
