I’m hoping to use this service to expose a VNC server behind a CGNAT. The VNC server is running on Win 10.
I created free TCP tunnels to test it out , using the 5900 port of the VNC server. These tunnels have addresses like http://abcjj-1234…-9876.run.pinggy-free.link. However pasteing these addresses into a VNC viewer running on an Android phone does not result in any connections to the tunnel at all. By removing the http/: prefix the viewer won’t complain about URL, but i don’t see any connections on the tunnel’s control panel. If I just paste the URLs into a browser, i get connected. What am I missing?
Also, pinggy devs, the ssh command line generator widget on the main page does not seem to always transfer the port number correctly to command line. The first time I tried it, it changed the port number to 8080. However neither works since the viewer app can’t seem to find the tunnel in the first place.
EDIT
Well, I sort of answered my own question. After taking a break, I see that I was getting http tunnels not TCP tunnels. This was the fault of the command line generating widget on the home page which was not transferring the options into the generated command line. It seems to be working now and I’m getting tcp tunnels that usually work.
I will now evaluate whether this approach will work for me. Free trial tunnels is a great idea by the way!
Thanks
