I have a few questions: 1) If I do not have a password for my account, what password do I use? 2) How can I connect my phone to my VPN? 3) How can I see the password which has been automatically set by computer?
Setting the IP range fixed my problem. Well... One of the issues is fixed. Now that I have a VPN I can back to working to fix my original VPN ran on my router. Thank you!
Thanks for that detailed Video!!! very useful. Just an question if you please. All the steps you described are confirmed. But i receive the following message when i try to connect from a client computer just after the login credential screen. >>THE REMOTE CONNECTION WAS NOT MADE BECAUSE THE ATTEMPTED VPN TUNNEL FAILED THE VPN SERVER MIGHT BE UNREACHABLE. IF THIS CONNECTION IS ATTEMPTING TO USE AN L2TP/IPSEC TUNNEL, THE SECURITY PARAMETERS REQUIRED FOR IPSEC NEGOTIATION MIGHT NOT BE CONFIGURED PROPERLY
@@y2j514 The error message you're receiving indicates that there may be an issue with the VPN tunnel setup, particularly with the IPsec negotiation. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue: Check VPN Server Configuration: Ensure that the VPN server configuration is correct. This includes verifying settings such as authentication methods, encryption protocols (e.g., L2TP/IPsec), and IPsec parameters.

They may have specific troubleshooting steps or recommendations tailored to your setup. By systematically troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with your VPN connection.
Hi, thank you for the video. I managed to share a folder through the VPN following your guide. But how can I bypass the firewall in China with VPN connected? I still cannot open Google or RU-vid now even with VPN connected to a laptop outside China, please help!
He told me ,, The remote connection was not made because the attempted VPN tunnels failed . The VPN server might be unreachable . If this connection is attempting to use an L2TP / IPsec tunnel , the security parameters required for IPsec negotiation might not be configured properly .
i didn't see any ike response or any other response by an underlying protocol, used for vpn tunnel, on the VPN server. when we create that new inbound connection under network adapter list, what's actually happening on the system. - does it has active service on the "server" handling the income connections - do we have to configure local windows firewall to allow IPsec? i'm trying to secure my local/home connections (within the LAN). i believe that IPsec is by design a client-server architecture, and securing LAN connections using IPsec would not be possible, since it would require a central device, handling tunnel creation. i'm trying to secure the connection between two local computers using IPsec, which may be possible, if VPN daemon is active on one of the computers hope this make sense....
Something that you maybe didn’t mention is that the public ip address of the router where the vpn server is connected should be static, for it to be always used for your vpn connections from abroad, so you must get a static public ip address for your router from the isp.
@@pxKappa Yes this is true and should be what you actually do. You cannot always get a static public ip address, because this depends on your isp, and might cost you some additional money, as well as some time to contact your isp. Getting a ddns on the other hand is free (depending on what provider you choose), and takes 5 min. I suggest no-ip which provide free ddns.
Designing a local network involves creating a network infrastructure that efficiently connects devices within your local area, such as in a home, office, or campus. Here's a general outline of how you can implement a local network design that connects to both an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the Local Area Network (LAN): 1. Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection: Obtain an Internet connection from an ISP. This can be through various technologies, such as DSL, cable, fiber-optic, or wireless. The ISP will typically provide you with a modem or a modem-router combo device to connect to their network. 2. LAN Network Design: Choose a central location for the network equipment. This could be a server room or a network closet. Decide on the network topology. The most common topology for small to medium-sized LANs is a star topology, where all devices connect to a central network switch. Plan the IP addressing scheme for your LAN. Assign a unique IP address range to your LAN, considering the number of devices you have and potential future growth. Common private IP address ranges are: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (CIDR notation: 192.168.0.0/16) 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (CIDR notation: 10.0.0.0/8) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (CIDR notation: 172.16.0.0/12) Configure DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) on your LAN to automatically assign IP addresses to devices that join the network. This will simplify the process of connecting new devices to the network. 3. Network Equipment: Install a network switch at the central location to act as the backbone of your LAN. The switch should have enough ports to accommodate all the devices you want to connect. For larger networks, you might need multiple switches, connected together to create a more extensive LAN. If required, set up a wireless access point or a Wi-Fi router to provide wireless connectivity to devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets. 4. Connecting ISP to LAN: Connect the ISP-provided modem/router to your network switch using an Ethernet cable. If the ISP modem is also a router, you may need to configure it to work in "bridge mode" to avoid conflicts with your LAN's router and DHCP server. 5. LAN Security: Implement security measures, such as setting up a strong Wi-Fi password, enabling WPA/WPA2 encryption on Wi-Fi, and configuring a firewall on the router to protect against unauthorized access. Regularly update firmware and security patches for all network devices. 6. Network Services and Sharing: Depending on your requirements, set up file sharing, printer sharing, and other services across the LAN. 7. Network Monitoring and Management: Implement network monitoring tools to keep track of network performance, bandwidth usage, and potential issues. Regularly back up the network configuration and device settings to recover quickly from any failures. It's important to note that network design can vary significantly based on the size, complexity, and specific needs of the organization or location. For larger networks or enterprise environments, additional considerations, such as VLANs (Virtual LANs), subnetting, and more advanced security measures, may be necessary.
i am unable to find the password for the active users, i tried everything, even if i try changing the password, the password gets changed by windows to an unknown one, if i try connecting i get this error: the remote connection was not made because the attempted vpn tunnels failed

To set up an IPsec/L2TP VPN connection between your MacBook and iPhone, follow these steps: Note: IPsec/L2TP is not the most secure VPN protocol, and it's recommended to use more secure options like IKEv2 or OpenVPN. However, if you still want to proceed with IPsec/L2TP, here's how you can do it: Setting up IPsec/L2TP VPN on MacBook: Open Network Preferences: Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen. Select "System Preferences." Click on "Network." Add a VPN Connection: In the Network Preferences window, click the "+" button at the bottom-left corner. Choose "VPN" as the Interface and "L2TP over IPsec" as the VPN Type. Give your VPN connection a name (e.g., "My VPN"). Configure VPN Settings: Set "Server Address" to the IP address or hostname of your VPN server. Enter your account's username and password. Click "Authentication Settings..." and enter the shared secret (pre-shared key) provided by your VPN provider or administrator. Click "OK." Advanced Settings: Click the "Advanced" button. Check the box next to "Send all traffic over VPN connection." Click "OK." Connect to the VPN: Click the "Connect" button in the Network Preferences window. Setting up IPsec/L2TP VPN on iPhone: Open Settings: Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone. Add VPN Configuration: Scroll down and select "General." Scroll down again and select "VPN."

Check Firewall and Antivirus: Your firewall or antivirus software may be blocking the VPN connection. Temporarily disable them and try connecting to the VPN again. Change Security Settings: In some cases, changing the security settings of the VPN connection to match the remote server’s requirements can help resolve the issue.
Will this method work as an alternative to the paid VPNs like express VPN if its server gets shut down by the government? Can i connect to a server outside of my country like a friends computer and use that as a VPN server?
Hi I have followed this video for setting up a VPN connection between my laptop and my office server and has been working fine since a few days ago when we had to turn off and back on the office server temporary. Nothing of the settings have changed between server and my PC, neither on our router. Firewalls have been checked already and everything is fine. It should work, but the message that appear it says it could be latency or someone else connected on the VPN. How can I solve this issue? Many thanks
If the VPN connection was working fine before but stopped working after the server was temporarily turned off and back on, there could be a few potential issues causing the problem. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: Check Server Configuration: Double-check the server's VPN configuration to ensure that everything is set up correctly. Make sure that the VPN service is running, and all settings (such as IP addresses, authentication methods, encryption settings, etc.) are configured correctly. Restart VPN Service: Sometimes, simply restarting the VPN service on the server can resolve connection issues. Restart the VPN service on the server and try connecting again from your laptop. Verify Client Configuration: Ensure that the VPN client configuration on your laptop is correct and matches the server's settings. Check the IP address, authentication credentials, and other configuration details to make sure they are accurate. Check for IP Address Conflicts: Make sure there are no IP address conflicts on the network that could be causing issues with the VPN connection. Ensure that the IP address assigned to your laptop and the IP address range used by the VPN server do not overlap with any other devices on the network. Check for Network Latency: Test the network latency between your laptop and the office server to ensure that there are no issues with network connectivity. You can use tools like ping or traceroute to check the latency and troubleshoot any network connectivity issues.

They may have additional insights or access to resources that can help diagnose and fix the problem. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the VPN connection issue between your laptop and the office server.
Please Help i have hosted website on IIS (windows 10) with a port and forward that port in firewall and router its working quite fine with my static ip . now i have register domain and there domain registrar require network server name like dn1.net.com please tell how to link with my domain thanks
The term "Incoming IP properties" is not specific enough to provide a clear answer. However, I can explain the concepts of global IP address range and local address range to help clarify the distinction: Global IP Address Range: This refers to the range of public IP addresses that are assigned and routable on the internet. Public IP addresses are unique and globally accessible, allowing devices to communicate with each other across the internet. The global IP address range is managed and allocated by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and regional Internet registries. Local Address Range: This refers to the range of IP addresses used within a local network, such as a home or office network. Local IP addresses are not directly accessible from the internet. Instead, they are used for internal communication within the local network. The most commonly used local IP address ranges are defined in the private IP address space reserved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). These ranges include: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8) 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12) 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16) To determine whether the "Incoming IP properties" refer to the global IP address range or the local address range, you need to consider the context in which the term is being used. If it is related to network configurations or firewall settings on a local network, it likely refers to the local address range. If it pertains to interactions with external systems or internet-based services, it is more likely referring to the global IP address range.
@@HetmanRecovery Thank you for your reply. However I had already determined that the address range to specify would be the range of addresses the client's machine resides in for this purpose. The part I am referring to is at 5:25 in the video. Thanks again. Excellent video.
Yes, a VPS (Virtual Private Server) on the cloud with a static IP can be suitable for various purposes, depending on your specific needs. A VPS is a virtualized server that runs on a larger physical server but operates independently, providing users with dedicated resources and control over their environment. Here are some common use cases for a VPS with a static IP: Web Hosting: You can host websites, blogs, or web applications on your VPS. A static IP is beneficial because it allows you to associate a fixed address with your server, making it easier to manage and point domain names to. Application Hosting: Deploying and running applications on a VPS is a common use case. Whether it's a content management system (CMS), a database server, or any other application, a VPS allows you to have more control and customization compared to shared hosting solutions. Development and Testing: If you need a dedicated environment for software development or testing, a VPS can provide you with a sandboxed space where you have full control over the software stack. VPN (Virtual Private Network): You can set up a VPN on a VPS to create a secure connection to your server, enabling you to browse the internet securely or access your private network remotely. Game Server Hosting: Hosting game servers for multiplayer online games is another possibility. A static IP is useful for players to connect consistently. Mail Server: You can set up your mail server on a VPS with a static IP, providing you with more control over your email infrastructure. Remember that the suitability of a VPS depends on your specific requirements, such as resource needs, performance expectations, and the level of control you require. Additionally, always ensure that you follow best security practices to protect your VPS and the data hosted on it.

Yeah dude I’m getting so frustrated researching this shit. RU-vidrs acting like a virtual connection to another pc using a local ip is the same as an encrypted connection to an ip unrelated to you. Also see some acting like using a encrypted connection to their home server is the same thing NO, that’s only useful when away from home and even then YOUR HOME is the target and it’s IP is local. Then there is so many idiots saying don’t trust vpn services then recommend vps services to make your own vpn…YOU ARE STILL ENTRUSTING ANOTHER COMPANY TO YOUR INFO. God it’s frustrating. I’m trying to learn how to make my own vps on a vm on another computer to use a vpn and all I find is stupidity and I’m the rookie learning for fuck sake.
I have finaly managed to get it all to work and the problem was my isp giving me a subdomain ip not a public one! Now it all works perfectly! But I would like to know how to change encryption from PPTP to L2TP as it seems PPTP is the default!
@@HetmanRecovery hi, thanks for the reply! Yes i figured that windows 10 does not support l2tp only pptp if you use it/set it as a vpn server... For the rest you need server 2019 or something else to work. Thats fine as i have a esxi box that i can install server 2019!
@@HetmanRecovery Hey Hetman Software, Thanks for your reply, and yes i’ve solved it by simply changing my mac on router and on my pc and now using free vpn ext. to hide real public ip.
