Hi there!

I'm trying to run peer-vnc on Winows 8 with TightVNC (which works and I can connect to it) as described in windows-howto.md. It just doesn't work. I can never open url that I get in console. E.g.

https://a19ada184411b868079c55faa62c9419.vurl.iwebpp.com:51688/vtoken/2845fe67f4c21bba/localhost-5900

Sometimes it does not load anything in borwser, somethings it loads noVNC without CSS, sometimes complete noVNC- but it never actually starts VNC session.

What I'm also noticing, from time to time, in console are lines like this:

DDOS attack, ctrlpkt MAC check failed.pkt.type:1 from ipv4: 58.215.184.236

When I try opening same url again after those messages I get "invalid vURL" in blank white page in browser.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Zoran

Will try, thanks Tom!

BTW when I open peer-vmc file in bin folder I see this line:

// Please install node-httpp binary in your system exec dir, like /usr/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/

Where can I find node-httpp binary for Windows? Or is that just for the Linux?

Thanks,
Zoran

you can check windows-howto.md
and 
execute .\bin\node.exe .\bin\peer-vnc ...

I did, and I'm running it exactly as described- but still no luck, not even with latest Win package that you pointed to.

Zoran:

it's working in Win7. please file a issue on github and paste a screen capture, then we can know what's wrong.

Strangely enough, it started working all the sudden, just at the moment I wanted to make screenshots to show that it does not work :)

But what I'm noticing is very big delay and disconnection time-to-time in setup where vac server is run in VM and I connect to it from host machine. It is on 2.8Ghz i5 16Gb of RAM / 4GB assigned to VM. What can be reason for poor performances? I suppose in this case all traffic is local no TURN? How can I tell if turn is being used?

Thank you very much!
Zoran

Zoran:

In default, peer-vnc pre-built release package run in TURN style, that means all VNC traffic will go through a central peer-vnc server in cloud. And,  currently the central server has only limited capabilities like bandwidth and cpu/mem size. Maybe, when lots of people were using peer-vnc, you can get DOS like connect failure. 

But, peer-vnc service can run in STUN/P2P style as well, that means all VNC traffic will go through from your web browser to your VNC server directly, instead of central peer-vnc server. 

To run peer-vnc in STUN style, I am developing a customized web browser based on Chrome. Hopefully, I can release the web browser in one or two weeks.

And, you can send your special requirement to iwe...@gmail.com

Hi, Tom!

Is it possible to run your peer-vnc in STUN mode?

Thanks.

Zoran:

  peer-vnc can work in STUN mode with papp-pac. but, it's more complex. 

  the steps is :
1.  npm install papp-pac, and start  it with userkey, that's same one peer-vnc print out on screen

https://github.com/InstantWebP2P/papp-pac

2. setup your web browser pac proxy port to papp-pac print out on screen
3. open peer-vnc link in the web brower proxed by papp-pac


Best regards

Can you clarify the step by step to accomplish step 4 in the windows-howto.md?
"Start peer-vnc: .\bin\node.exe .\bin\peer-vnc -t localhost:5900 -k anywords will show a URL"
I'm not familiar with Node.exe or peer-vnc enough to interpret this and running node.exe just brings up a command-prompt type with no instructions how to use it and its unclear how to execute peer-vnc
