I have a VPS with FreeBSD.
On it I installed neorouter server.

I installed a windows client on my laptop and I am able to connect.

Now I want my FreeBSD server to be reachable by my windows client.
So I installed FreeBSD neorouter client on FreeBSD, but when I connect it doesn't work. Even not with the same IP + port + credentials as I used for the windows client. I also tried using "localhost" or "127.0.0.1", but both didn't work either.

I use non-standard port 54373.
So on my windows client I connect with domain: 111.222.333.444:54373

Hi fisherpas,

Please check :
1. is the NR client service running?
2. Any firewall settings on your freebsd?

Thanks,

When I try to start nrservice I get the following error:

"nrservice failed to start. Client service failed to load settings."

I already totally disabled IPFW, so this must be the problem.

I see in this topic that it searches for the wrong adapter name.
The topic dates from 2010. Is it already possible now to set the adapter name in some config file, so nrservice searches for that adapter name?

Ok I renamed my adapter to "eth0".

/etc/rc.conf:
#ifconfig_vtnet0="DHCP"
ifconfig_vtnet0_name="eth0"
ifconfig_eth0="DHCP"

When I try to start nrservice I still get the error:
"nrservice failed to start. Client service failed to load settings."

Hi fisherpas,

The error indicates NR client service does not get the MAC address of your network adapter.

Generally on FreeBSD, the default adapter would be "ed", "le" and so on. It may be different on different virtual machine. Since you change it to "eth", it just takes "et" and try to get et0, et1... Obviously it's wrong.

Actually NeoRouter can handle any adapter name by setting up the Feature.ini file.
In your case, you may want to create a Feature.ini file under /usr/local/ZebraNetworkSystems/NeoRouter/ on your machine and put the following lines in it. Then restart NR client service.

[Default]
NicInterfaceName=eth

For more information, please refer to user manual or wiki http://www.neorouter.com/wiki/index.php ... ationFiles

Another approach is you change the adapter name to "ed" or any other two characters name and it would be fine.

Let us know if you still have problem.


Thanks,
KevinZ -NeoRouter team

Thanks Kevinz! I have been able to start nrservice and connect nrclientcmd.
When I restart freebsd it logs back in at the start of freebsd.

Now I got another problem. In IPFW I wrote a rule to allow all traffic over tap0 (back and forth)
I can succesfully connect to my samba share from my windows client with the ip freebsd gets from neorouter (10.0.0.4), but when I use the share, neorouter client on freebsd loses connection.
When I try to use putty from my windows client to freebsd client the same happens.

I suspect that there are some keep-alive packets being blocked.
When I disable the firewall the connection stays up.
When I log the traffic that gets blocked, I see a udp connection on a random port from my freebsd server to my windows laptop.

Jan 31 00:29:26 rico kernel: ipfw: 65000 Deny UDP 111.222.333.444:21880 555.666.777.888:62892 out via eth0

(111.222.333.444 = freebsd server)
(555.666.777.888 = windows laptop)

I already tried allowing all traffic from my windows laptop to the freebsd server and viceversa. But that didn't work.

Are there some ports I could open on my freebsd server for this? And could I also let this traffic go through the tap0 tunnel, instead of going through eth0.

Extra question, when I connect to a samba share in windows using the neorouter ip, the traffic gets encrypted, right?

Hi fisherpas,

You should allow all traffic pass through NeoRouter adapter tap0. You can use NeoRouter built-in firewall (NR Pro/Mesh) to control the ports on that machine.This is how we design it. All packets through the NeoRouter adapter are from the machines in the NeoRouter VLAN, nothing else from physical network.

However, if you use NR Free, you may want to control the firewall settings for tap0 specifically.



Thanks,
KevinZ - NeoRouter team
