![]() Please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks!įor everyone’s information. If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, It uses ssh, so allow port 22 Just use YaST firewall and add allowedĬheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) What settings are needed in SuSEfirewall2 to allow the connection Turn it back on again once the connection is established and theĬonnection will endure with the firewall protecting me again. Machine in one room, to my openSUSE machine in another room, across theīUT I have to turn SuSEfirewall2 off to make a connection and then I can It works just fine as a remote desktop link, connecting from windows 8 Nomachine site as RPM: Code: rpm -qa | grep noma Putty is one I use and it does not require me to mess configurations when I move because I would have variations of the session depending on where I am.I have nomachine installed, the proprietary version, downloaded from The analogy should not be made to browsers but should be to something like SSH given it’s an authentication method your product uses. The current set up makes that difficult and require auto proxy configurations. A NoMachine client on a single network may require 4 different proxies to access 4 different hosts, potentially concurrently. ![]() Many resources behind secured networks are not in the same network as where the client is connecting from. There’s also an inherent assumption that system proxy settings would be adequate, that is hardly how proxies are commonly being used. If there’s a concern for how this might balloon for roles like IT, there are other ways to organize configurations like session folder structuring. Depending on where you are, you connect from a different session file. I enjoy the ability to just connect to a session without having to make changes beforehand. Yes, in the prior system, rather than 1 config for same settings, people had 3 for each network they are on, but “manage” really ends at the creation of these session files. In my opinion, I think the concept of “manage and edit tens of session files” is a problem no one had. It’s why I install plugins like SwitchyOmega which behind the scenes just uses auto proxy config because users should not have to deal with. Browser general use case is not intranet or used behind secured networks, while NoMachine is.Īnd to be fair, I dislike the browser proxy configuration. I think you missed my point about the similarities to browser really only end at how proxy would work. That said, please, check that the automatic configuration of the proxy on your network is usable, it’s a standard in all OS and all network configurations via the DHCP protocol. We can evaluate whether to give the possibility to choose the most appropriate proxy setting at the start of the session. (By the way, please tell us if you tried it and if it worked). ![]() We imagined that this “automatic proxy configuration” would work and resolve the question in most settings. We placed considerable importance on the automatic/manual configuration of the proxy either based on the configuration of the operating system or the LAN. How to configure proxy settings manually with NoMachine How to use automatic proxy settings with NoMachine The current mechanism does actually make perfect sense for a user that connects to multiple computers from the office, where you presume that there is a proxy in place, or from home via their ASDL to computers anywhere in the world by simply toggling on and off in the Player settings. If you think about it the problem was also there in the past, where connecting to the same machine from 5 different places would mean having to create 5 individual nxs files. ![]() We understand that this can be problematic. This is the procedure for Windows, but on Linux and Mac it’s very similar. You can name the shortcut to identify the proxy configuration and use it. Create a shortcut by copy-pasting the one created by default on desktop, edit properties of the new shortcut and add the option -config C:\Users\\.nx\config\.cfg to the Target field. Configure the proxy and rename the file %USERPROFILE%\.nx\config\player.cfg (Windows path) for every configuration you need. You could try a different solution not requiring to edit connection files, by using the client command line option -config to select a custom configuration file. We understand your need, however adding also the configuration of the proxy in connection settings would be slightly confusing and impact the usability improvements we did to cover the most generic user needs. Version 7 introduced a big overhaul of the graphical user interfaces, and among those changes the proxy settings were moved from connection to client configuration.
