<![CDATA["The remote desktop server is currently unreachable"]]>Hello everyone,

Im really excited to use this service, but unfortunately i ran into an error while setting it up.

Whenever i try to connect to my PC it shows "The remote desktop server is currently unreachable"
c58a583d-e5bd-499a-8799-aa53e12d262c-remotedesktop unreachable.PNG

I was using this video as a guideline.


And this video to change my Windows settings.

I'm using Guacamole 1.5.2
And Windows 10 Pro (22H2)

Below is the system log and a bunch of things i tried in order to fix it.

I have replace my IP with "IP Adress of Machine" and my user tag with "user"

Things i have tried

1. "Ignore server certificate" is on

Here are my settings

067f6116-14a0-401b-868a-3311551c59bc-image.png

I also set my IP manual in Windows and used the same on Guacamole.
I also not able to access my pc through Guacamole using my laptop

2. Desktop Remote

It's enabled in my settings and i was able to use windows' native RDP to connect from laptop, that's in the same network.
I couldn't test it with another network because my laptop won't connect to my hotspot for whatever reason.

3. Cloudron Terminal

On another post regarding this issue i saw someone saying to try a telnet command on the Cloudron Terminal.
However it's not working for me.

"Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out"

0b114415-5988-42f5-a964-2eb2f438eae1-image.png

Maybe this is where the issue lies, but i don't know to go further from here on.
I would be glad if you could help me or maybe share your experience with this problem.

Glad you figured it out!

So i cam across this post, and it seems like i just needed to add a forward port for my pc in my router settings.
So now it works. I'm happy

So i want to access my win10 desktop pc, i'm not using a VM.

Telnet with SSH

I've tried telnet with SSH, but i get the same error

Win10 Remote Desktop

So i tried the Android app to connect to my pc via win10's native RDP and it did work. Being in the same network.

However it didn't work when i was using my mobile data connection on my phone.
I always get the error code 0x204.

So now i've searched for ways to solve this problem, i did all of this

Enabling Desktop Remote (which was already enanbled)
9ed85e51-0cd0-4b7c-9357-65fc80b9ddea-image.png

Changing my Firewall settings to allow Desktop Remote. The Guacamole (custom) comes from the next fix i tried.
3c99de82-d7ac-4084-bb76-148c5b152375-image.png

Opening my for the firewall Port.
f4315090-d743-4095-b803-14e714c7a7ba-image.png

Creating a new value in my registry as of this
98207b78-1ab1-4381-8f86-7b224028608f-image.png

I still get the same errors using telnet and RDP on my phone.

The 3 point is the most important. The windows server is not reachable from Cloudron.

To take this one more step, ssh into the server and run the same telnet command. I suspect you cannot connect from there there. This means there is some networking issue. Can you tell us a bit more about your network setup? Is this a VM in a private network? How is Cloudron VM exposed to the internet? Maybe some router or firewall configuration is preventing Cloudron from connecting to other internal devices?
