[QUESTION] Windows RDP connection fail 🐛 #1102

Open rosx27 opened 10 months ago

rosx27 commented 10 months ago

Describe the bug I think this is not a bug but there is no option for just a question. Anyway here goes:

I'm trying to use the trycloudflare since i haven't purchased a domain yet.

I have to Windows 10 PCs: On host side, i run this command:

cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe tunnel --url rdp://localhost:3389

which gives a url:

https://optional-archive-electric-uruguay.trycloudflare.com

On client side, i run this command:

cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe access rdp --hostname optional-archive-electric-uruguay.trycloudflare.com

No output was generated, it just executed then I was able to run another command like nothing happened, however, on host side:

if i try and run this command on the client side:

cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe access rdp --hostname optional-archive-electric-uruguay.trycloudflare.com --url localhost:3389

The output is:

2023-11-07T15:56:28Z INF Start Websocket listener host=localhost:3389
2023-11-07T15:56:28Z ERR Error on Websocket listener error="failed to start forwarding server: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:3389: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions."
failed to start forwarding server: listen tcp 127.0.0.1:3389: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

I know based on the documentation, there should be a hostname for my domain, i'm just trying it out though.

This ' No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.' sugests that its being blocked by a firewall or the RDP service is not running. Check out: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-allow-access
