VPN - VPN 서비스에 "포트 포워딩"이 없으면 VPN을 사용하는 컴퓨터에 연결할 수 있습니까?

Another solution may be to use remote desktop services, such as TeamViewer or AnyDesk. These services allow for remote control of a computer, even if it does not have a public IP address or port forwarding set on the router. In any case, it is worth remembering to secure one's computer against potential attacks, for example by using strong passwords, keeping software updated, and using a firewall.

I wasn't sure if I understood your question correctly, so I put it into ChatGTP and what it spit out coincides with what I would write:

Good morning! I understand that you need to be able to connect to a networked computer 24/7 using a VPN. Your VPN provider is opting out of the port forwarding features you used for remote access. You would like to know if there is a way to still be able to connect to this computer, especially using the WireGuard protocol.

If your VPN provider no longer offers port forwarding, there are a few other solutions you can consider:

1. Changing VPN provider: You can look for another VPN provider that still offers port forwarding. Before buying, make sure that the new provider supports both OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols, and has port forwarding.

2. Intermediary services: There are services that allow port forwarding directly to your computer, even if it is behind a NAT or VPN. An example of such a service is ngrok. Ngrok creates a tunnel between your computer and the outside world, allowing you to access your computer from the outside, even if it's behind a VPN. Ngrok offers a free plan that may be sufficient for your needs.

3. Hosting Your Own VPN: If you are an advanced user, you may want to consider hosting your own VPN on a computer that is always connected to the Internet. There are many standalone VPN software such as OpenVPN that you can install and configure on your own hardware. However, this option requires some technical knowledge and time to set up.

Regarding your VPN provider's port blocking question, yes, the provider may block certain ports for external incoming traffic, depending on their policy. If the ISP blocks the port, you will not be able to make an incoming connection through that port. However, many VPN services have permeability to standard ports such as HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) to allow web browsing.

I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you!

It seems to me that the best way to connect to a computer in a private network is currently the Remote Desktop service from Google in the form of a plugin for Google Chrome. Both computers or smartphones must have Google Chrome installed - which is usually already installed (in any case, it does not require administrator rights to install). You need to add the RemoteDesktop plugin to this browser as shown above. And it works :)

"If your VPN provider does not offer 'port forwarding' service, there are several options you can consider: 1. Configure a proxy server: You can set up a proxy server on your computer connected to the VPN. The proxy server can redirect incoming requests on a specific port to your computer on the VPN network. There are many available tools for configuring proxy servers, such as Squid or Nginx. 2. Use remote desktop service: You can use a remote desktop service, such as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for Windows systems or Virtual Network Computing (VNC), to access your computer on the VPN network remotely. These types of services allow remote control of the computer from anywhere. 3. Apply a port-forwarding VPN solution: If the lack of port forwarding in your current VPN service is an issue for you, you may consider moving to another provider that offers this functionality. There are VPN providers that allow port forwarding, enabling direct connection to your computer on the VPN network. Remember that choosing the appropriate method depends on your needs and technical capabilities. It is also important to comply with the rules and terms of using the VPN services provided by the provider."

Yes, you can still connect to a computer that is using VPN even if the VPN does not have port forwarding service. However, it might be more challenging to do so. Port forwarding is a feature in VPNs that allows traffic to pass through specific ports to access a device in the network. Without this feature, incoming traffic from the internet cannot reach your computer, making it difficult to connect to it remotely. You can try to set up port forwarding on your network router to direct traffic to your computer's IP address. This may require some technical know-how and could potentially compromise your network's security. Another option is to use a third-party service to access your computer remotely, such as a remote desktop application or a cloud storage service. However, this would require additional cost and may not be as convenient as using a VPN with port forwarding service. Ultimately, it's up to you to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each method and decide which one works best for your situation.

If I were in your place, I would be interested in a private network that you can create using ZeroTier. It allows the creation of decentralized virtual networks, which do not use any central server. Thanks to the use of encrypted direct connections between our devices, we avoid the need to exchange our packets through an intermediary server, which does not limit us with its network bandwidth. Such a connection is not only secure, but also ensures low latency, which may be crucial if we want to use this solution for entertainment purposes such as gaming or sharing remote desktops. You create an account, set up the network addressing, and optionally customize the settings for yourself. On your own and remote computer, you install the network client, provide your network ID, and then in the ZeroTier account configuration, authorize and join the attached computers. An internal network is created between computers, regardless of internet service providers. The network speed is really satisfying. I have been using it for several years and I am satisfied.

"You haven't mentioned anywhere the name of the VPN service you are having trouble with. Start with that. What kind of service is 'port forwarding'? What does it involve? What type of internet are you using: cellular or home? If it's the latter, do you have control over your router? What model is it? Are you using a dedicated VPN application or one that is built into Windows/Mac? If it's an app, what is it called? What do you use the problematic VPN service for: connecting to a specific computer or network, bypassing geographic restrictions, or simply wanting to hide your identity?"

Yes, it is possible to connect to a computer that uses VPN, even if that VPN does not have "port forwarding" service. However, in such a case, there may be a limitation in accessing certain resources or services that require an open port on the router. To enable access to these resources, you can try configuring the VPN with the "port forwarding" service or use other methods such as VPN with a remote server directly accessible from the Internet.

Yes, connecting to the computer is possible without the port forwarding service, however, it may affect the possibilities of connecting to the computer.
