Nexus Forums _ Questions, Requests, and Help Forum _ Connecting Behind A Schools Firewall

Posted by: Bobert Oct 9 2008, 10:12 AM

Hey, im at school right now, and want to connect to nexus from behind my school's firewall. any tips to get this to work?

Posted by: HaKSaW Oct 9 2008, 10:31 AM

You need to get the correct ports opened. If you do not have access to the firewall rules and router, it's not going to work.

Posted by: KaN Oct 9 2008, 10:32 AM

Do you have Nexus installed and it just won't work, or is the problem actually that it won't allow you to install?

I've found that the simplest way is to Proxy your connection.

Assuming you're in Highschool, the easiest way would be to setup a CCProxy at your computer at home. Then, get a portable (Flash Drive version) of Proxifier. From there, you can proxy your connection to your home computer and connect to nexus from home IP.

Im going to try this proxy thing for my college dorm room...Would be awesome if it works O.O

Could you give a quick tutorial on how to set up ccproxy and how to use proxifier? I've got the programs installed on both computers now, and I'm at my home computer.

I haven't had to use either of these programs in a while, but I'll download them and make a walk through of how to set it up.

Give me a little bit.

Probably need to find the connection with the fastest upload. If you can proxy through a cable modem, you will probably get good enough upload. I know that DSL lacks big time in the upload department.

I was proxying from a OC3 connection to a 6/1, then to KRU.

It was laggy enough to effect you in PK, but for hunting and general use, it was fine.

Here is the first part of the Tutorial. This explains how to configure CCProxy and your router. My next post will cover how to set up Proxifier.

This is the tutorial for configuring Proxifier.

NOTE: Proxifier is not a free-ware program. There is a 31-day Trial version you can use, and when that expires, you must purchase it, or find another way to make it work. (No I'm not going to link/tell you how to do it illegally.)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in game, but please understand that everyone is on a different connection and may run in to various issues. I will try my best to assist you, but please don't bother me if I cannot fix your problem.

Here are a few notes to help you better understand if this method will work for you:

- You must have two computers
- CCProxy goes on the machine you want to proxy through to get on to to Nexus, or in most people's cases, the machine at home (assuming Nexus is blocked at school)

- CCProxy goes on the Home machine, and Proxifier goes on the Machine that you will be playing Nexus on.

- CCProxy is free to use, up to 3 users may be connected simultaneously.
Note: If you are a bright kid, you'll realize, oh dang, I can character share with people if I let them connect to my proxy server. KRU will never know I'm character sharing. WRONG KRU can tell that your sharing by more than just your IP address, so don't try it.

- Lag while using a proxy: I didn't experience much lag when I used a proxy for Nexus, although it really depends on the connections you're on, and how far or close you are to your proxy server, and how close your proxy server is to KRU servers. I was connecting from Austin -to- Houston -to KRU servers, so my latency wasn't that bad. Note: The lag does make PK a little bit harder because you do experience more lag.

- All-in-all, this method of connecting to Nexus is great. It works well, and it's really not that hard to do.

REMEMBER: If you want to proxy your connection, the computer that has CCProxy on it MUST BE TURNED ON to connect to it. Most servers run 24/7, so assuming you want to be able to play Nexus 24/7, you need to have that computer turned on!

If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this post, and I will try my best to assist you.

if you follow those instructions better set your router to static ip addresses

QUOTE(AllyGator @ Oct 11 2008, 03:44 AM) [snapback]64992[/snapback]

You would only need to do that if the computers that are on the Router are turned on and off frequently.

What Ally is saying is -- when you open the port for the proxy to run SOCKS5 on, Linksys and their infinite wisdom (sarcasm) only allows you to open the port for ONE IP address. So there is a chance your LAN IP could change, and there for not open the Proxy port for that computer.

I used this method of proxy for over a year, and that only happened to me once. Assuming you have someone semi-intelligent at home to help you out, it shouldn't be that hard to change if it happens.

To avoid this issue, there are two ways to do it. You can set your IP address locally to obtain a specific address every time Control Panel -> Network Connections -> (Right Click) Local Area Connection -> Properties -> Internet Protocal (TCP/IP) -> Use the following address -> (Type in correct information, assuming you know how).

The issue with doing it this way is, if you move the computer to a different connection, it will request the IP address from the old Router/Connection, and there's a chance you won't be able to connect until you change it back to Automatic.

Or, some routers have an option to issue the same IPs out to your computers.

Hurray, this got me past the black screen. Now the connecting to nexus box tells me that I can't connect.

EDIT:
The problem is that proxifier is unable to connect to my proxy server at home. So while using it, it's as if I have no internet connection at all.

If Proxifier isn't establishing a connection to your proxy server, there could be a few problems.


1: You do not have the correct Port forwarded on your Router to allow CCProxy to work.
2: You do not have the correct IP address and port entered in Proxifier.
3: You do not have a user account set up correctly on CCProxy
4: You do not have your user information entered correctly in Proxifier.

Make sure you do the Proxy connection test first. If that doesn't succeed, then it won't work.

Seems somewhere that the path from point A to point B is missing a hop. Brant has some good suggestions for troubleshooting, but also don't forget firewalls and any other program that might be blocking specific ports.

CCProxy looks like a pretty good solution. What kind of security is it using though? Is it basically using a secure tunnel?

Well, as great as that sounds, I can't figure out how that is safe, or any information about the software, or how exactly it works.

That just doesn't seem very legit.

The SOCKS 5 protocol, an extension of the SOCKS 4 protocol that offers more choices of authentication, is defined in RFC 1928. The initial handshake now consists of the following:

* Client connects and sends a greeting which includes a list of authentication methods supported.
* Server chooses one (or sends a failure response if none of the offered methods are acceptable).
* Several messages may now pass between the client and the server depending on the authentication method chosen.
* Client sends a connection request similar to SOCKS 4.
* Server responds similar to SOCKS 4.

The authentication methods supported are numbered as follows:

* 0x00 - No authentication
* 0x01 - GSSAPI [6]
* 0x02 - Username/Password [7]
* 0x03-0x7F - methods assigned by IANA [8]
* 0x80-0xFE - methods reserved for private use

The initial greeting from the client is:

* field 1: SOCKS version number (must be 0x05 for this version)
* field 2: number of authentication methods supported, 1 byte
* field 3: authentication methods, variable length, 1 byte per method supported

The server's choice is communicated:

* field 1: SOCKS version, 1 byte (0x05 for this version)
* field 2: chosen authentication method, 1 byte, or 0xFF if no acceptable methods were offered

The subsequent authentication is method-dependent and described in RFC 1929:

The client's authentication request is:

* field 1: version number, 1 byte (must be 0x01)
* field 2: username length, 1 byte
* field 3: username
* field 4: password length, 1 byte
* field 5: password

Server response for authentication:

* field 1: version, 1 byte
* field 2: status code, 1 byte.
o 0x00 = success
o any other value = failure, connection must be closed

The client's connection request is:

* field 1: SOCKS version number, 1 byte (must be 0x05 for this version)
* field 2: command code, 1 byte:
o 0x01 = establish a TCP/IP stream connection
o 0x02 = establish a TCP/IP port binding
o 0x03 = associate a UDP port
* field 3: reserved, must be 0x00
* field 4: address type, 1 byte:
o 0x01 = IPv4 address
o 0x03 = Domain name
o 0x04 = IPv6 address
* field 5: destination address of
o 4 bytes for IPv4 address
o 1 byte of name length followed by the name for Domain name
o 16 bytes for IPv6 address
* field 6: port number in a network byte order, 2 bytes

Server response:

* field 1: SOCKS protocol version, 1 byte (0x05 for this version)
* field 2: status, 1 byte:
o 0x00 = request granted
o 0x01 = general failure
o 0x02 = connection not allowed by ruleset
o 0x03 = network unreachable
o 0x04 = host unreachable
o 0x05 = connection refused by destination host
o 0x06 = TTL expired
o 0x07 = command not supported / protocol error
o 0x08 = address type not supported
* field 3: reserved, must be 0x00
* field 4: address type, 1 byte:
o 0x01 = IPv4 address
o 0x03 = Domain name
o 0x04 = IPv6 address
* field 5: destination address of
o 4 bytes for IPv4 address
o 1 byte of name length followed by the name for Domain name
o 16 bytes for IPv6 address

Done everything that I can think of but I still can't get my dorm computer to connect to the proxy server. I can use Logmein to connect to my home computer, but nexus (and everything else) runs at about 1/1000 of normal speed. My home computer uses a dynamic IP, but i've made sure that it stayed the same and that the port forwarded on the router is also on the same ip.

Which IP am I supposed to enter for the proxy server in proxifier?

That seems to be the problem. I can't ping that IP from my dorm. Guess that means there's no way this will work sad.gif

I believe that I can ping my router (x.x.x.1 from IP above, not sure if that is my router), just not my computer at home. Might just need some more network tweaking at home to get this to go through.

Most likely cause of no connection is that my home computer is on a wireless connection.

The wireless shouldn't matter, and you won't necessarily be able to ping your router at home.

Yea. LogMeIn uses dynamic routing.. and is able to bridge 2 locations on the internet by using their servers as a middleman. It's creative.. but doesn't prove anything for port forwarding purposes.

I didn't look too closely.. which port does Proxifier try to use?

Posted by: Milli Oct 14 2008, 08:24 PM

The site that gives your IP address is showing a location in milwaukee (most likely my ISP, as I am not in milwaukee) is this still the correct address? I'm thinking the IP should be something else because the connection should be working properly now.

Proxifier uses any port the Proxy Server is set up to use for SOCKS4/5.

In simple terms, if you're hosting the Proxy server on one network, the port you have the software on (CCProxy) allows you to determine which port you would like SOCKS4/5 data to be transferred on.

Most SOCKS Proxies use port 1080, but that's just a default.

Just curious though, which port are you using Milli?

The location of your IP doesn't really mean anything. That only describes where your Host Name is coming from, or simply put, which network your ISP has you on. The IP that the site is giving you is the IP you should be putting in to Proxifier. Also, make sure the port you are using for CCProxy is not a bogus port. Try something like 1080 (default SOCKS port), and see if that works. It's possible your Schools network is blocking a port that you're trying to use for proxying.

Another thing you might want to try is to get a close friend or someone you trust to test your connection for you. Or even use another computer that's already AT your HOUSE to test the connection, to make sure that the problem exists with CCProxy, and not with your school's network, or a setting you have in Proxifier.

finally got it to work. The hardware firewall at home was the problem. Thanks for the assistance biggrin.gif

Edit: new problem!
My computer at home running the proxy server is a laptop and seems to like to shut down on its own after a few hours when it's left alone. I even went into the power options and made sure everything was set to never shut off or sleep on its own. Any way I could force my laptop to stay on 24/7? My current solution is to call someone at home and ask them to turn it back on, but that wont work when no one is there. I figure that a simple solution would be a program that just slowly moved the mouse around on the screen or something, making the computer think that it wasn't idle. Suggestions?

Edit2:
Made a short auto-it program to keep computer awake, huzzah!

Make sure the IP you're using in PROXIFIER is the correct IP that the CCProxy server is being hosted on.

Make sure you have the log-in set up correctly on CCProxy, and make sure it's typed in correctly in PROXIFIER.

Make sure that the Port you're forwarding is for the correct Computer (Ex: 192.168.1.102)

Those are really the only criteria that need to be correct for it to work correctly. You're welcome to PM me screenshots of how you have it set up, and I'll see if I can find your issue.

Hey guys,

We have two connections at school, our guest connection has blocked many services related to games apparently but our main, encrypted connection allows me to login to many games. For some reason, though, NexusTK is one of the only games that I have that I cannot connect to.

The first time I launched the game I got all the way up to the create a new character screen but was disconnected before I could login. Now I can get to the main screen (New, Continue, Leave, etc) but it now IMMEDIATELY goes to the "Reconnect or Leave" dialog.

Any idea if theres a way I can get past this, Im hoping its not completely related to our network side of things and that theres something I can do on my side to get connected (of course on the same laptop it works from home)

Pingfu Iris, Google it, It's a proxy which allows you to connect to nexus from school or if you're behind a firewall.
Costs 5 bucks a month though.. theres a free trial.

Quick little bit of info for you.

1: The 'guest' connection only allows connections on port '80' which is the port used for http (aka internet browsing). This keeps the connection extremely secure from outside users that the school doesn't want on the network

2: The encrypted connection requires school id/pass authorization, and therefore leaves the school with less liability. As for not being able to be connected to Nexus, I think it's become a very common occurrence on many college campus' now. I'm not sure if it's something KRU is doing unintentionally, or it really is just something on the school's side. Back about a year ago, I fought for months with the IT Department at my University about not being able to be connected, and even through my 'connections' on the board of directors -- it even got as far as the Network Administrator installing Nexus on his computer (Mind you I go to a school with over 40,000 students, big school) and it took him weeks to figure it out. It has to do with something in the firewall that many schools use. Since I'm not really too knowledgeable of University infrastructure once it leaves campus, I really don't know what their using, although it seems like it might be the same set up at many schools.

That being said, it's extremely unlikely that the issue can be fixed and you'll be able to play Nexus on the school's connection.

Also, read this: http://www.nexusforums.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=4201&view=findpost&p=64957

Edit: Then again, if you can get to the log-in screen, it's possible that just the ports are being blocked, which has been a problem for players before that go to smaller schools.

Shoot your schools IT Department an e-mail asking if the ports on a few IPs are open. Give an explanation of why you want them to be open, as well as links to the Nexus website. If the ports being blocked is just the issue, you might have a better chance of getting on with the schools connection. If not, then you'll have to proxy your connection if you want to connect.

Also, the software that Topher posted earlier is shady as hell, I wouldn't recommend using it.

Thanks guys, I didnt expect this post to go too far but I still had my hopes and I received a lot more than I thought.

Back in high school I setup a proxy on my home desktop and I would connect through it as well as many of the students so we could use super nintendo emulators.

As for programs that are anything besides a web browser, I knew there must have been certain ports and/or services being blocked. NexusTK may be using a service or port that whomever designed the schools network infrastructure considered a threat and put a block on it.

I guess at this point I'll email them, at least I dont have to tell them in person where it probably wouldn't be taken as seriously.

Thanks guys.

As for Pingfu Iris, would it be the same as setting up an Apache 'server' on my home desktop and connecting through it to play Nexus?

Posted by: Bascote Nov 19 2008, 11:19 PM

I used PingFu iris, I don't think Nexus liked it, I got disconnected with a message that said "You are being removed from Nexus now" LOL

Posted by: SilentS Nov 20 2008, 12:37 AM

That message often comes up when you lag out, no matter what connection you are on.

Posted by: Bascote Nov 20 2008, 01:38 AM

You're right, later I found I was able to connect and play with Pingfu Iris fine. I started searching for a free HTTP Tunneling software instead now (Pingfu is free trial only) so I found one, I don't have the name with me now but I still need to get it configured. I should be able to look at Kru's support site and find the ports to "forward" (but really they are being tunneled) and theoretically I think that should work.. If anyone is interested I'll keep ya posted.

Posted by: Cillian Nov 20 2008, 10:36 AM

Sure, keep me posted

I tried to play Nexus in college and got the same kind of issue, went to talk to the IT guy and he was like "that's a low priority for us right now"

I find this topic really interesting. I think it is good for people to discuss ways on how to help each other break college limitations and help other nexus players get back to our realm. Really nice of you to bring this up Bascote, hope this will continue being a great topic. =)



Milli started this same exact thread over a month ago. I posted a huge walk through for a solid fix for the issue.

Thanks for pointing that out Brant and good job on helping people still be able to play nexus from college.
I merged the two topics into one, hopefulyl to keep it alive and next time a person has such doubt, they'll know how to proceed with it. =)

Okay,

The client I downloaded is called HTTP-Tunnel and I haven't had a chance to set it up while at school you but I will let you know.

One thing I did back in high school though, in our boring intro to computers class, is set up an apache "server" at home (I can't remember the name of the application it was probably apache server or something, I know it had apache in it). From there I connected from school "through" my home connection and before you knew it, we were all playing Sunset Riders on a Super Nintendo Emulator though the LAN -_^

Now if HTTP-Tunnel works, it should eliminate the need for a second computer which would be awesome. KRU already tells us which IPs and ports need to be unblocked so if I can 'tunnel' those through this program it 'should' work I'd think.
