Configure a XP Pro PC as a VPN server for free

[jahaniaan]

there is no description how to port forwarding ? is that important because i could not connect i dont know that is wrong

[abdelrahman142]

Type on google 'VpnAccounts' and click on the first website. It's so Cheap + Fast.

It supports:

PPTP

L2TP

SSTP

OpenVPN

I have been using it for the past 2 weeks. It works perfectly (better than all the VPN i ever used)

[desterrrrrrrr]

You can also do some pretty cool things as well, for example you can access all of your shared iTunes music and uhhh...

YEAH AND IF YOUVE GOT AN AIRPORT EXPRESS~!!

... then you can uhhh login to your network and blast your uhhhh....

OH YEAH YOUR ROOMMATE~!!

LOL~!!! all finishn eachothers sentences n shit~

naw but i like this video, taught me me sum shit bout VPNs in 2008~

[ADENTISTRY]

I got conntection with VPN server and try to open file of the server with start->run>\\ipadd\ok but it didn't work.

I can see acrivity sent 702,165 bytes and received 27,064,087 .

How can I open the server's folder?

Doesn't work for me. It connects, but isn't actually connected. It shows ipv4 not connected and isn't sending any packets back and forth.

[ecotts]

Hey, I was considering buying a Billion BiPAC 7402NX VPN wireless router to set up a a tunnel to access my network from my Mac or Windows 7 laptop, I'm still trying to work out how the encryption works.

The router supports embedded IPSec VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocols, allowing users to establish encrypted private connections of up to 16 simultaneous tunnels over the Internet with a built-in DES / 3DES VPN accelerator.

Do I have to buy encryption like a SSL cert, or is it free?

[SomeNoob13]

@ecotts You CAN buy certs to increasing trust of you. But you don´t need it if you don´t care about users.

[microsoftodessa]

thank u :)

[drexr951]

i did everthing you guys said but with i try to put in my own password to connect vpn it tells me i connect with the user name and pasword i put in wat should i do

[pdhag]

xp also allows setting up of FTP (inetroot) using microsoft windows components addition from control panel, with that you can have all the files (music movies) via FTP too. good for larger file upload download. required port FWD from router to localhost (FTP 21 may be)

[Zeldakitteh]

What stops people in coffee shops with packet sniffers from catching the password you write to connect to your virtual private network?

And the information you send to the network, would that be encrypted?

[joseitodemiami]

change the original password before go to a coffee shop or vacation and then go back after finish your vacations or whatever and set the original password.

[Zeldakitteh]

@joseitodemiami They could still use your password while you were away. Creating their own account. Or visiting a website installing malicious software that takes control of your computer.

[crax83]

@Zeldakitteh 1. When you connect to the VPN it will do a handshake and establish a secure connection before you log in. So the password is encrypted.

2. Yes, also the information you receive from the network is encrypted.

[Zeldakitteh]

@crax83 Does that apply to school networks, I.E - Would the administrators see information transmitted, like passwords?

[crax83]

@Zeldakitteh If the school allows that kind of connections the admins wont be able to see the information. But some schools (and offices) only allows outgoing connections to a few ports like 80 and 443. But if that's the case you could set up a Linux box with the SSH-server on 443 and use that as a proxy to encrypt what get's sent and received to your browser, and a some other programs (there are guides for this on net).

[Zeldakitteh]

@crax83 I see. Thank you.

[crax83]

@Zeldakitteh You're welcome, and good luck with the encrypting :)

[cybhunter007]

in a similar situation of deskreel, I configured the vpn on my computer to accept incoming connections. I'm using the external IP (with port forwarding). Able to connect but not browse, I try to input the ip address of the server, but an error denotes that the network path was not found. What could be causing this?

[eklizia]

From where do you get the username and password?

where is it generated? From the SERVER?

[asadalavi]

the user name and pasword might be the person pc account password that your connecting to but i having problem with host name from were am gona put host name

[ieshiaporter]

guys, there is an awesome free program out that hides your ip address youtube . com /watch?v=hL4ZBNhlGwI

[ENRIKUEMARTINEZ]

thanks alot video really helped

[gabmezza]

i still cant do it and am wondering if the fact the one of the isps have made our connection as a dynamic ip. will i have to do something different.??

[nateswitch]

at the start of this vid you mention on the last vid you were sniffing that dude connection at the coffee shop and could see his IM messages and passwords? can you post the link to that video as i wanna see it but cant find it. Also your show kicks huge ass!! great work!

[nnngggiii]

portfoward tcp or udp?

thank you

[WarwulfX]

This only sets up a PPTP connection. PPTP is a dead protocol as both LEAP and MSCHAMPv2 are insecure (via programs such as Asleap). I believe there is a way to force TLS-EAP usage, but I don't remember off-hand how.

You'd probably be better off teaching users how to set up OpenVPN for your secure tunnel.

[Fortyn9n3]

I'm stuck at 2:32 how can i find my public IP address?

[wobbygongman]

[weld3z]

can i make it on mac ?

[vicangula]

are you guys teaching each other or what ?

[ozpc123]

sorry i mean the server machine that's behind the router the windows firewall on the server. is there some ports to open cause i only get in once iv disable win firewall.

[ozpc123]

For the client side i need to disable my windows firewall in order to connect, other wise it will not connect. so what ports must i open on the clients windows firewall? thanks anyone for a reply!

[paulspydar]

wouldnt setting up a vpn through xp make you more vunerable in your chosen IP range to incoming attacks, traffic ,sniffing ,send packets, DOS etc ?

[FullThrottleKC]

@ paulspydar How exactly are you thinking it would make you more vulnerable?

[paulspydar]

why would anyone use an unsecured W,N? intersting vid though,

[chris47watson]

coffee hotshops :)

[paulspydar]

but they are talking about setting up a HOME VPN so evem though you mentioned coffe hotspots (ther called hoptspots in the UK) I dont think that is quite relavent? also not all coffee hotpots are Unsecured because you have to to get a key to use them (some) that they only give to paying customers ,you would be much beeter off just sitting in a car park or airport etc and checking out the traffic there(dongals W/E laptops etc) but thanks for your reply

[chris47watson]

they're called hotspots everywhere, i just call them hotshops. i have no idea why hehe

anyways you set up this vpn for security because you route all your traffic to a different location, in this case, your home, so that the people also on the network cant just watch what you're saying to your buddies, or pull your username-password to your email or w/e.

although you can have a vpn inside of the lan, theres little reason i've found to do so. they're referring to the vpn outside of the lan

[paulspydar]

thanks for the reply,

[emptyBEERcans]

U did that WAY too fast. We're not all bad asses with our own shows who know everything. Wish you did it slower as if you were really trying to teach people who don't know how to do this

[kurozaki45]

im confused i dont understand the part you have to put in your public ip adress/dan. what should I put there? how do i know my dns? or do I ust put my public IP?

[naduongruto]

Have a few question

1) Public IP Address would be my IP given from my ISP, right?

2) the port 1723 needs to be forwarded to my router/server? can u explain me that again?

[Kicekpicek]

1. Your ISP can give you just one port to set up a VPN, not the new IP address, but if you have an public IP it's easier:)

2. Yes, you must allow to connect up and down through this port.

[chris47watson]

yes, the public ip is the ip given by your isp

the port forwarding is done in your router, forwarded to your computer. basically, they connect to your router through port 1723, and the router says everything from that port goes to your server computer, using the internal ip (192.168.*.*)

hope that cleared it up some

[moveyass]

Dude, that's awesome. I need to see if I can use the connector as part of a bridge so that I can system link my friends Xbox 360

[acejackson45]

how do i know what port 2 forward?

is it the one you mentioned in the video?

1723?

[swellme]

Where can i get the public ip address of the vpn server?

[rohana1985]

Great tutorial. This worked fine for me. My problem is, how can you apply this to a VPN server having dynamic IP address?? Then server IP changes and client cannot know the new server IP address!! Any solution?? Or Static IP is a must?? thx

[pchulpwesterkwartier]

thanks you

[deskreel]

i was able to connect from my freind's computer to my own laptop via vpn,i followed all the steps port forwarding an d rest,i saw the connection notification come on my freiends laptop but i still dont know how to access the shared files i set up on my laptop i try to catch the last end of the video,where d guys connected to d shared file from the Run window but i failed to see the command line even after playing it back 10 times..if anybody get this,pls explain...thanks

[ganmanG]

[Hak5Darren]

start > run > \\ipaddress > OK

the ip address of the computer you're connected to should show up in the connection details tab

[deskreel]

u guys must be an IT instructor or something,i read lots of tutorials on vpn but still had problem understanding but u guys put everything together in less than 10mins....genious!!!! thanks a whole lot
