Unable to connect to relay with VPN #310

Open kramttocs opened 1 year ago

kramttocs commented 1 year ago

Windows PC running the server and client Android phone running the client. Off network.

With VPN on (I've tried multiple vpn providers) and even with hbbr, hbbs, and the server.exe excluded via split tunneling I am unable to share my phone screen. It says unable to connect to relay. As soon as I disconnect the vpn, the phone shows connected. Even with VPN connected, from my phone I can rdp into the Windows PC so it's not completely blocked.

I am using my hostname as the relay server setting.

So the issue is when the windows machine is connected to a VPN?

What happens with a trace route?

kramttocs commented 1 year ago

Sorry, that is correct. The VPN software is running on the Windows machine. Would I need to run the trace route from the phone?

I wish I could explain it better as it's a bit odd. I would expect all or none to work. Meaning I am surprised that from my phone I can rdp into the Windows machine since that indicates the relay server is accessible from my phone. So it's strange that my phone (this also happens with a second off-network Windows machine running just the client) can't connect to the relay to be rdp'd into.

Please let me know what I should put into the trace route also (port?)

kramttocs commented 1 year ago

Here is my router port forwarding: image

dinger1986 commented 1 year ago

Trace route from the PC to the server don't need a port just hostname or IP

kramttocs commented 1 year ago

Ok. I ran trace route on the same Windows PC that is running both the VPN and RustServer. Vast difference when VPN is connected vs disconnected.

Disconnected I get one row with all 3 columns being <1 ms Connected it goes up to 10 rows and then gets Request Timed Out. Plus the times for rows 1-10 are around 20ms

Looks like this is my problem?

...but I get shouldn't excluding the RustServer exe's make it the same as with vpn disconnected? I feel like there is an exclusion I am just not making.

dinger1986 commented 1 year ago

Why not try excluding traceroute and see if that works? I don't really use vpns so can't help specifically about that

kramttocs commented 1 year ago

:) Was actually just googing where the trace route exe was located...

kramttocs commented 1 year ago

Even with it (in Windows\System32) added, it still is acting like when it's not excluded

dinger1986 commented 1 year ago

Ok so the vpn is doing something weird then even if it's excluded so will be doing the same with rustdesk I guess

kramttocs commented 1 year ago

Thanks. What's odd is that if I hit my hostname in the browser from the same Windows machine it lets me load up local services (like Plex) immediately. Maybe that's apples and oranges to traceroute/rustdusk traffic though.

dinger1986 commented 1 year ago

yeah that is odd, could try with IP maybe? Or localhost?

kramttocs commented 1 year ago

Ok, I think the tracert is a false positive. Even if I tracert google it doesn't work the way I'd expect. Plus if I do nslookup it comes back with the IP correctly.

I've turned off split tunnelling in the vpn so now I don't have any exe's for rustdesk server excluded. Behavior is the same. I can rdp into my Windows box but I can't rdp into another device that is using the Windows box as the relay server.

Update: I think some things were cached as it doesn't seem to work with the rustdesk server AND client not added to the split tunnel

I'm also unable to connect to another machine unless i disable my VPN.
