Hi all!
I try since 3 days to connect my Trinity with my XP Pro - no chance
I found no complete "How to do" on this forum and also not on Google.
Could please someone post all the settings on the Trinity ( Computer:, User name:,Password, Domain ) and what to do exactly on the XP Pro.
I have a D-Link Router ( I believe I must open Port 3889 - but it´s hard because there are some strange settings [ destination - source .... ].
Please
Best regards
Gregor
The RDP port is 3389...
what model of dlink router...

but if its another model the configuration must be the same...so later i post screenshot...
So i presume that the RDP service on your winXP is active and the SP2 firewall accept RDP entrance connections...i'm right?
P.S. Have u the last Firmware?
@kheops
Last Firmware ? Not till yet - but I can do it - no problem !
The new firmware does not delete my router settings ?
Cheers
Gregor
I must Have two port open:
3389 Both
1789 Both
This works oke.
@janegsm
What means both ??
Source and destination ???
Cheers
Gregor
On my ADSL router:
In/Out port 3389 TCP
In/Out port 1789 TCP
Destination IP adres is my server IP adres
(no source adres)
new firmware
yep the new firmware delete your settings...u can make a backup of the settings?
SO! go in the admin page of your router...
In Advanced / Virtual Server
Name: MyRDP
Private IP: type ipconfig on your RDPcomputer to know its ip adress
Protocol Type: TCP
Private Port: 3389
Public Port: 3389
Schedule: always
verify the rules
In Advanced / Firewalls...
@kheops
Done !
But still my Trinity shows me following message :
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specified computer name or ip does not exist
2.A network error occurred while establishing the connection.
The IP ist only the first line under ipconfig - right ?
( subnet and standardgateway is not relevant ).
Concerning your former post :
- I activated both ticks on my XP Pro : remote support plus remote desktop
I named a remote user - in my case it is "Administrator". XP says that "Administrator" is in use even if its not named but I have named itin the user box. Also I have set a password for "Administrator".
- My XP firewall is not activated because I have a router firewall !
Something wrong till yet ?
Cheers

If u are on HOME LAN the ip adress is what u can see with ipconfig...
If u are on Internet the ip adress is a pubblic IP that u can see on router...or if u use DynamicDNS like DynDNS...
@kheops
hmmmm.... please try to do not irritate me with too much informations
I have to fill in the ip address of the first line : 192.168.0.2 - correct ?
On my Trinity I have to fill in the ip address or can I name my Computer as written in "name" of router settings ( Virtual and Firewall ) ?
One more stupid question :
I start WLAN on my Trinity and wait until the Trinity connected with my WLAN Router DI-624. Then I start Remote Desktop Mobile on my Trinity - fill in the computer name - fill in my computer account name "Administrator" - then my password - domain box remains empty. Then connect / and only the error message will follow.
Now my question: How does the Trinity knows - only with my computer name - where in the whole wide web he will find my computer here in my office ???
May be its not such thrilling if I´m logged in on my WLAN Router in my office where the XP Pro is connected to the Router too - but how does this work if my Trinity is logged in a WLAN on Starbucks or somewhere else ???
I overlooked something - right
Cheers

just ip adress...
sample: if your computer is 192.168.0.2 fill it in the rdp client (only if u are in the LAN home!!!in fact only in your lan your computer is know as XXX name... )

Its a bit complicated to talk about DNS(my limit is my english...)
u just to know that if u want to fill in your rdpclient adress a name u must use a DynamicDNS that your router use
TOOLS /MISC -> Dynamic DNS...because i presume that u dont have a static public ip adress with your Internet provvider....see www.dyndns.org
u can see your dynamic ip adress in
STATUS
ip adress [WAN]
@kheops
O.K. - now I believe slowly that I have to differentiate between logged in with Trinity per WLAN on my Router itself ( is this "home LAN" ? ) and logged in on a external WLAN.
What are the differences in settings on my Trinity
Sometimes I believe that I have understood - only the recognize some minutes later that there are much more difficulties to solve
Cheers
Gregor
P.S.: Where to fill in IP ? .... I thought on " Remote Desktop Mobil" on my Trinity behind "Computer:" - correct ?
FOR CONNECTING OUTSIDE UR LAN:
What u have to do is connect to the ouside (WAN) address of ur router. This is the the IP address u have to fill in ur remote desktop to connect to. Go to www.whatsmyip.net on ur home pc to find out whats ur WAN address
U configure ur router to forward the specific port (in this case 3389) to the IP address of ur computer(be sure u have a static ip address).
FOR CONNECTING WITHIN UR LAN(same IP range):
just fill the ip addres of the host.
can post someone download link for Remote Desktop Mobile...thanx
Hi all helping friends!
Now I have set my router to a static IP ( the current one which i found on these ip-finder-side ).
By the way : Do I have disadvantages with a static IP ?
I also have additional enabled under Advanced / Firewall these IP with port 3389 !
I cannot additional enable these static IP under "Virtual" settings on my router - ´ve got a message that there is a conflict with something.
Then I have put these static IP on my Trinity behind "Computer:" - but still no chance to connect to my XP !!!
There is only now a third error message : May be too much connections!
Gregor
heuuuuu....
I'm not sure that u can change ip adress to dynamic to static...without consequence...
Hi, Hopefully somebody can help me, I am trying to use my OpenVPN connection on my FireTV
I have been following this helpful guide and have installed everything correctly but when I transfer my .ovpn config file and open it on the FireTV it should ask for my username and password, However it does not. I don't know if its perhaps a problem with how the "OpenVPN Settings" app is reading my .ovpn file (Using CyberGhost).
Or can anyone advise another way of getting it working on the FireTV?
Unfortunately I cant configure it at router level as it is not fast enough to handle the encryption.
Thanks for any advice.

If the username and password are embedded in the .ovpn file, then it won't ask you to enter them again. It should automatically connect you to the VPN server you choose.

I dont believe they are in the .ovpn file as when I had it briefly enabled on my router after importing the file I still had to type them in.

.ovpn file needs the certificate file to work properly. upload the certificate (.crt) to Fire TV if the certificate is not included in the .ovpn configuration file

I think the .ovpn file also includes all the certs as when I tried it on my router I noticed they were pre-filled. I dont believe CyberGhost have a seperate .crt download.
After removing all security related info (just put XXX in place of your data like certs/usernames/passwords, DON'T REMOVE ANY LINES THOUGH), can you post your ovpn file? do you see a line which says "auth-user-pass" in the ovpn file?
I just installed OpenVPN as per the guide you referenced and works like a charm (I don't use any commerical VPN, I have OpenVPN activated on my DD-WRT router on ASUS 1900AC). I use certificates to authenticate, not username/password though. But, if you post the file, it might be helpful.

Hi, Sure I have attached a copy of their .ovpn file, Near the top is the line auth-user-pass
As suggested I blanked out various parts.

Launch OpenVPN settings app; then click the "menu" button on Fire TV remote; click "prerequisites" on the menu ; make sure drive, binary files are correctly installed (success with green dots).

OK, I tested your file. This file works:
client
remote gb-openvpn.cyberghostvpn.com 443
dev tun
proto udp
auth-user-pass
resolv-retry infinite
redirect-gateway def1
persist-key
persist-tun

cipher AES-256-CBC
auth MD5
ping 5
ping-exit 60
ping-timer-rem

route-delay 5
tun-mtu 1500
verb 4
comp-lzo
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
XXXX
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
Note, the file ends at </ca>.
I found 4 problem lines in your file.
1. dhcp-release
2. dhcp-renew
(These 2 just don't work)
3. fragment 1300
4. mssfix 1300
(These 2 are not supported on Android. Please refer: https://docs.openvpn.net/docs/openvpn-connect/openvpn-connect-android-faq.html)
Once you remove these 4 lines (AND EVERYTHING AFTER THE </ca> tag), I am getting the prompt for username/password.
-- Also, please verify that your app has all the prerequisites listed by the above poster.
Hope all this helps. My suggestion is to copy my paste of the file, stick in your certificate and give it a shot. Best of luck!

Make sure you do a force shutdown and reopen the app every time you make any changes to your config file and upload them to FTV. I am not sure how the caching works on Android or within this app. To be on the safe side, shutdown/reopen the app.
Your certficate file is publicly available. If after you do as the previous poster suggested and use my text as your file, post your complete file here that still does not work, if it does not work! We can go through the logs to see where the holdup might be.
I am assuming you are ONLY using username/password to log into your VPN provider. If you are required to also use client certificates, you will have to add 2 extra XML tags after the </ca> tag.
Seems CG uses a different method for OpenVPN on Android devices vs a router or PC (You'll see below). I wonder if you should of just stopped at the "Configure VPN" part of the guide & sideloaded & installed the CyberGhost APP(.apk).
For some reason https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ can't handle the ".de." in the link of the CG's apk @ the PlayStore. So I downloaded it from another device. I would recommend you install it from the PlayStore once you've added that to your FireTV. Uploaded the file below but it's always best you download your own.
Also found this: (It's from 2013 so not sure if things have changed but it is the third help item that pops up on CG's site when I do a "Android OpenVPN" search)
Configure OpenVPN for Android (> 4.x)
Configure OpenVPN for Android (> 4.x)
Posted by Uli Brügmann on 25 February 2013 01:22 PM
On Android, CyberGhost VPN can be used with OpenVPN, if the following requirements are met: OpenVPN app is preinstalled on your distribution, you own a Premium or Premium Plus CyberGhost subscription, an online CyberGhost account and a OpenVPN configuration file, which will be created for you in your account.
Please note: Android versions below 4.x don't support OpenVPN. To be able to use OpenVPN anyway, you need to root and modd your device. An alternative (and recommended) solution is the usage of the L2TP/IPSec protocol.

There is also and update: New VPN addresses for the manual configuration of the native protocols
New VPN addresses for the manual configuration of the native protocols
Posted by Uli Brügmann on 14 May 2014 02:21 PM
Users of mobile devices and desktop PCs who usually configure their native protocols manually, should acknowledge that CyberGhost changed some address types. While addresses used with Premium and Premium Plus subscriptions (e.g. 'us-l2tp.cyberghostvpn.com') remain unchanged, users with Special Editions or promotional activation keys should re-adjust the server addresses for L2TP, PPTP and OpenVPN connections as follows:

So I am only seeing the two solutions. Either use the App once you have OpenVPN fully installed which sound like you have & then add your account info. Or log into your account to get the proper files from CG which should include your credentials. Hope you figure it out & share the info. Will be using CG too, eventually.

Thank you very much for all your help, I have tried as instructed but still no luck.
After checking the "prerequisites" menu I can confirm everything is correct, All green dots.
I have tried editing my .ovpn file and it certainly is a step forward, I removed the four lines etc and it now asks me for my username and password, But when I enter these and tick the box to enable the VPN it just keeps toggling between Connecting / Reconnecting (caused by tls-error).
Is it safe to post my untouched .ovpn file just to make sure I did not miss something crucial when I edited it? (It does contain my username)
Yes CyberGhost only require you to enter your username / password after using their .ovpn file during any OpenVPN configuration.
That's an interesting point, It never crossed my mind to try side-loading their app. Perhaps if I cant get this working I should try that. I'm wondering what would be better suited or if either can auto-start?

? Is the CG configuration file you are trying to use specifically made for Android ?? Or is it the one you had on your PC or router which I think does not suppose to work according to CG. The configuration files seem to be OS specific.

Yeah its the Android specific file I am using. They offer it for os 2.0 or 4.0
The FireTV of course uses 3.0, They tell me the 2.0 will work.

Well FireTV is based on Android 4.2 actually. The FireOS is 3.0 but not the Android it is based on. I would definitely change to the Android 4.0 option @ CG when making the config file.

Try it without removing anything(any lines). That was someone else that took at look the other config file & suggested to remove lines. I would not post something related to encryption or accounts online without taking out any private info on it.

Sorry, Everyone is being so helpful its hard to keep up
I should have said prior to today I had already tried it untouched. As it was it would not go as far as even trying to connect as it would not ask for a username or password

Right.. But you need to create a new configuration file over at CG with OpenVPN, Android 4.0 & the Country you will be surfing from in the settings and try that file without any modifications.

I have tried it all ways each time with a new .ovpn file, ie

2.0 (edited, asks for username / password but puts out the tsl error)
4.0 (untouched, did not ask for username / password)
4.0 (edited, asks for username / password but puts out the tsl error)
