overview for ironhydroxide

Ok. Found some DNS settings on my router, and fixed the internal domain name "problem" but it's still only internal. If I set my public IP(internally) it doesn't connect.

I can connect to an internal computer from external, even though the client says "not ready".

I cannot connect from internal to external computer. Instantly shows "remote desktop is offline"

This leads me to think that somehow I have something wrong in router settings, or I have a security feature blocking something. I just don't know enough about routing to know where to look.

I got past the key mismatch internally. Maybe it was blank spaces.idk.

But still having issues externally. Just doesn't connect for some reason, though I've confirmed all the ports are open. :/

It seems I may have "fixed"(?) One problem, as internal network connections succeed now (same key, same settings, just restarted the containers a few times and let it sit?)

External connections still show the same. :/

So, I'm trying to setup self hosted rustdesk. I have it running in a docker container. I have allowed the ports through the firewall. I have setup the same ports forwarded in my router, to the server running rustdesk. I have set the private key on both clients.

on systems internal network, I can setup the clients to connect with internal IP. And get the "ready" at the bottom. But key mismatch error when trying to actually connect between two internal systems.

If I setup the client with my external up (and I've tried domain name as well) I get a delay then, "not ready please check your connection", as well as the key mismatch.

I feel I'm running into two different problems, but I can't find any hints looking through the container logs (in fact, once the containers are running, I don't really get any logs populating when trying to connect a client)

Any suggestions? I'm at a loss here.

Even then. Dude who refuses can either buckle up, or walk. You don't buckle, we all don't get there. See how you get treating your "friends" like that.

Other than just not drive. Which is a very valid choice.

I've been using RealVNC for family computer help and have been wanting to setup a self hosted replaced for a while now, but haven't had the time. RealVNC has recently axed their free levels, so I'll use it as a reason to setup a self hosted solution.

Ideally it would be something like a web page (I have a domain and reverse proxy) where family can go, get a code or a software to run, which will then let me control their system securely.

I was considering guacamole on a pi at each location I'm likely to have to support, but this doesn't help when family is away from their home network on laptop.

What is out there for this? Have you used it? What are your experiences?

Thanks
