I do NOT know anything about the "VDSL-router from Telekom", so I could be guessing totally wrong.Ĭan you VNC to another computer in your home? Or is that also being blocked? The only reason I can imagine your "VDSL-router from Telekom" not allowing you to VNC out is if it has a Firewall feature that blocks most out-bound TCP connections, except for maybe port 80 (web servers), and the various ports for email. If that destination computer is not using a public IP address and is behind a router, then it will need that router to port forward port 5900 to the computer.īut since you ONLY experienced this problem AFTER changing your home setup, I am assuming the remote destination system is already configured to work correctly. HOWEVER, the remote system needs to allow connections over port 5900 to the destination computer. Generally you do NOT need to configure your router for out-bound VNC connections to a remote system.

I must be able to reach my mother's Mac Mini again (she is living in Romania, has no clue and need assistance - and I cannot deliver this anymore! :-((() I would gladly consider to implement a VPN-solution (even when I'm not so sure HOW exactly to do this right now…) but I would like to solve first this annoying problem. This seams very reasonable - but right now I an not even able to get a proper (and insecure -) VNC-connection working again! :-/ > then you would be able to use the .x address since the VPN would make them seem like they are on the same network. > A better solution would be to implement a VPN which provides a secure connection between the remote locations. I have also opened a port in order to VPN to my company's server. Thanks for this information, I didn't know this.
> Note that if you do configure your router to permit incoming connections, you're leaving yourself open to random users hitting your system, I am surprised because with my previous (DSL-)internet connection and OS X systems (Mavericks and older) I had no problems at all.
That's why I also tried with the "real" IP address (as seen from "outside"), in the format "vnc://ip_address/", "ip_address/" (that was completed with "smb://") and the same whitout the final /. > (in addition to the router being configured to route incoming connections on port 5900 to the relevant host).

However I know how to switch the ports on and off, so now I "only" need to know WHITCH ports are needed for screensharing to work.Ĭould anybody help me with this information? Sadly I cannot use the Airport Extreme with VDSL, so I am not even able to check if my presumption is true :-( So I came to the conclusion that my router (a VDSL-router from Telekom) must block the ports necessary for screen-sharing, because it did something similar blocking the ports for VPN - normally open on an Airport Extreme! I've tried to connect to different Macs using different versions of OS X (Yosemite, Mavericks and even a PowerPC - Mac Mini running 10.5.8), all of them set to enable screen-sharing-connections - with no success! :-( I try to connect (via CMD+K from Finder and then "vnc://îp_number") but after trying a couple of minutes I get an error message from the screen-sharing-app saying that the connection wasn't possible. Since my ISP-change a couple of months before I am not able to use the screensharing-app anymore.
