I have a client who cannot connect to me using RealVNC (both client & server on Linux). We've tried this from his office and his Father's office, nearby. I'm running vncviewer:
vncviewer -listen on my system, with my firewall set to forward port 5500 to my workstation, and it forwards port 80 to port 5500 on my workstation as well (I leave these ports closed unless I'm working with a client). On his system he's run vncserver and it is using display :1, so he uses this command line: vncconfig -display :1 -connect myname.dyndns.org When I do this from inside my LAN, specifically connecting to myname.dyndns.org, so the connection is routed to my external IP and through my firewall, it works fine. When my friend does it, nothing happens and he gets no connection. I figured his firewall may be blocking outbound connections, so I had him try: vncconfig -display :1 -connect myname.dyndns.org:80 to send the connection through port 80. If he tries to read a web page on my address, I see it on my firewall, but when he tries this, I see nothing. Is there any way to make the connection look like an HTTP connection (other than using port 80)? And, while I'm at it, instead of using an entire new post, I don't see anything in vncconfig that shuts down a server. I have to specifically kill the server, then delete the lockfile. Isn't there an easier way to do this? Thanks!
