It does not, the same issue occurs using the IP.ĥ. It does resolve correctly showing my external IPģ. Is the port forwarding counter increasing on your router when you are attempting the connections?ġ. Will Synergy connect if you use the external IP for your server? Is nslookup or dig resolving the dynamic DNS name correctly (is it returning your external IP)?Īre you able to ping your server via the dynamic DNS name?Īre you able to telnet to the server port via the dynamic DNS name? With VPN disabled, from your client machine (assuming ICMP is enabled for the external interface of the router): Okay, this sounds like a DNS resolution issue to me - let's try a couple tests. With the VPN disabled, I can connect to the server with the local IP address. The hostname is properly registered using the tool offered from no-ip to my external IP address.ĮDIT: Just to check, issue does occur with the VPN both enabled or disabled. I can check the port I forwarded using on my external IP, and it detects the service is open. No message comes up on the server, however. WARNING: failed to connect to server: Timed out. Using the hostname to connect, getting error: Followed your steps but having issues with the client not wanting to connect. I am attempting the process on a system with Cisco An圜onnect VPN. Drop a file in a folder on one system and it appears in a folder on my other system. If I need to move files between them or print something, I use iDrive ( ) because I can define a custom 256-bit AES key (I own my data, not true for Google Drive and Dropbox) and then use their Sync service to move the files. I get around it by have two systems, one on VPN and one not and using Synergy with SSL enabled to administrate them both simultaneously. Yeah, it sucks for people who work from home a lot (like myself), but I think the increased security is worth the us I get to come up with creative solutions so I can still work. By disabling, you force all traffic through secured and monitored appliances. That is a man-in-the-middle attack waiting to happen. When it is enabled, you are creating a link between an unsecured external network and an secured internal network. You actually want split tunneling disabled. VPN's that don't allow split tunnels are just downright stupid.

You're going to be opening some pin holes, so best to keep the connection secure while in transitģ) Select a non-default port for Synergy to use - again security precautionĤ) Create a DHCP reservation or assign a static IP for your server systemĥ) Create a port forwarding rule on the router that will forward all traffic destined for the port you determined in step 3 to the IP to determined in step 4 (source should be any IP, any port)Ħ) Install Synergy if you haven't already done so, select server, and register your Pro key from step 2ħ) On the Settings menu, enter the port number to determined in step 3, check the "Use SSL Security" box and click OKĨ) Click Configure Server and then add your client screens as you normally wouldĩa) If router supports automatic dynamic DNS updates, configure your router to update the address you registered in step 1 so your home external IP is tied to your DDNS addressĩb) Install the DNS update client from the service used in step 1 so your home external IP is tied to your DDNS addressġ1) For "Server IP," enter the DDNS address you created in step 1 (don't use auto config)ġ2) Make sure to set the same port number from step 3 in the Settings screen

Here is what I did.ġ) Register yourself a free (or paid if you don't want 30-day nags) dynamic DNS address (DDNS) from a place like dynDNS or no-ipĢ) Register for the Pro version of Synergy to get that sweet, sweet SSL security. It takes a little work, but it is possible to use Synergy over VPN without split-tunneling.
