ixixix999 0 Posted ... I have been using Air VPN for Windows for a very long time. The scheme is as follows: my computer -> ... RDP ... -> windows vps (tor + air vpn). Now I decided that I want to do the same thing with Linux, that is: my computer -> ... RDP ... -> Linux vps (tor + air vpn). But here 2 problems surfaced, firstly, when I am connected to the Linux server via the RDP or VNC and including Air VPN, it disconnects me from the Linux server because the network card is changing. How can I use VPN on a Linux server, but that would not disconnect me from the Linux server? The second problem is the use of Network Lock. When I turn on the network, it also kicks me out of the Linux server, no matter how I configure it. + The fact is that I have a dynamic IP and I can not add it to the exceptions in the Network Lock settings. Thank you all for your help, I'm still a newbie in Linux! Quote Share this post Link to post
OpenSourcerer 1441 Posted ... I wouldn't recommend either of those for connecting to a Linux host. RDP is a Microsoft technology, and VNC is unsecured. I'd even go as far as saying that a desktop environment simply doesn't belong on a Linux server, one because it's "not natural" and two because X11 is… complicated, security-wise. Windows is not Linux, after all, and there are people who like to think of Linux as a "replacement" of Windows which is not true. Also I think a server with certain services for other ("random") clients to use shouldn't be forced through a VPN, especially one like AirVPN where the first 1023 ports are not open for forwarding. 7 hours ago, ixixix999 said: because the network card is changing. Can you elaborate on what exactly happens there? OpenVPN doesn't do anything like it. On Linux it adds a new interface and with AirVPN's config it configures it to be used for all traffic first. It sounds a bit like you are still trying to connect to the server's "real" IP, though. Try the AirVPN exit IP, and don't forget to forward the RDP/VNC port here.
