I have a subscription to Resharper and I want to use in my work, but we are behind a firewall that blocks my login attempts.
I need to give to infrastructure team the ip and port address that resharper uses to login, but I cannot find it on google.
Any one have it?
PS: Maybe this forum is not ideal to ask this. If it so, in what forum I can ask?
Thank you very much!

Hello & many thanks in advance.
I'm a complete beginner with Azure and have followed the tutorial in creating a VM. I access it via RDP.
I switched on the event logger and I can see that there are multiple attempts to try and login into the admin account every couple of seconds or so.
Just wondering if there is a way to secure against this?
Thanks
Will
There are multiple ways to secure, take a look at below;
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/iaas#restrict-direct-internet-connectivity
There are several different things to consider here. First, we should identify what specifically makes RDP a favorite target of cyberattacks.
The biggest known weakness of RDP is that is requires open ports, the default values of which are widely known. This is why you are seeing all those login attempts. Cybercriminals are constantly scanning port 3389 on every know IP address to find a vulnerability. The best thing you can do here is to change the default port to something else.
Secondly, RDP passwords requirements are often not enforced. A McAfee report found that the most common passwords for vulnerable RDP services were “123456” and “password.”
Finally, and perhaps the most frustrating is that RDP is just a really old protocol not designed for the modern internet. There is a laundry list of known RDP vulnerabilities, for which many organizations simply neglect to address.
There are a few things you can do as a savvy admin:
Change your RDP port
Put your RDP server behind a firewall and/or a
VPN
Enable strong password requirements
Enable multi-factor authentication
Apply all available security patches
Use a modern zero-trust access service like Twingate, Perimeter 81, or Zscaler to limit access and detection by unauthorized users.
I tried to cover these topics in a blog post I wrote for my company (Twingate), which provides a fairly good summary of the situation and some other ideas to secure your RDP server. Hope this is helpful!
Ok it may sound strange, but I forgot where is one of my websites hosted.
I remember the domain name and I have access to setup the DNS server, but I don't remember the nameserver. It was something like ns113.icndns.net but I checked and the domain is not there.
When I use that tool I see my domain name listed there: https://viewdns.info/reverseip/?host=nemo.icnhost.net&t=1
But what are the dns server names? Is there an easy way to find or am I missing something general knowledge? Please help.
p.s. I don'g have access to the hosting account and the guy having it will return at the end of the week, but it is too late.
Some website do the job for you, such as https://who.is
it will give informations regarding a specific url.
You can also use command whois from nslookup tools to resolve those kinds of problems

I'm hoping to get some kind of idea if what I have in mind is even possible or if I'm looking in the wrong place.
Basically, my company provides a website which users are able to access online with credentials we sell and provide them. We have another potential customer who would like to access this website. Sadly this customer is very stuck in the past, and they don't allow their users any internet access at all.
For a number of reasons, I don't want them to host their own version of this website. However, I considered that we might configure a web proxy on their network (which is given internet access) which reverse forwards connections to our website. Is this even possible? And should it be attempted? Or are there better ways to achieve this?
Yes it's possible, you can install on their intranet a simple proxy script for example
https://github.com/Athlon1600/php-proxy-app
and modify the index.php and allow from there only a single host to your website.
I don't know what technology you can use on their Intranet network but virtually for every web language, such software is available.
Here is some discussion related to the "Access the sites blocked over the network" that is just for Gmail but it will definitely help you too:

I hired a web server in Brazil (Locaweb), and now that my website is live my guests can't enter because says that my IP is in a blacklist.
Ok, I understand about blacklist and I know that usually servers recycle IP's. I requested Google to check it using the Webmaster Tools and they said that my website is clean now, there is no malicious code anymore.
It would be perfect if other websites, like Bing or Yahoo does the same! Also some antivirus, like Avast and AVG. There is an easy way to do it? Or the best option is to ask for another IP?
About my question, I'm asking it, because I think the IP was a porn website before. There is also a way to check it?
Ah, my IP:
191.252.59.101
Thanks!
This post seems to have some good advice on how to find historical whois information.
Aside from that, you can try to reach out to whoever maintains the blacklist you're on, but it'd probably be easier to just request a new IP.
Im hoping you geniuses here at stackoverflow can help me with this.
Recently i had to point my domain name to a network on Ning.com to map and merge the site with the domain, so i had to add an A and CNAME record. This disconnected the link between my domain and my web host and because of this my friends cant access their email anymore. Ning doesnt offer webmail either. And im not sure if i want to use Google Apps.
Is there a way i can retain the new domain pointer to the network on Ning.com and a pointer to my web host for the webmail? Or is there any other options i can take?
Thanks you so much :)
Is it an option for you to create a new A record to a subdomain like webmail.mydomain.com?
Not sure if this qualifies as a comment or answer, depends on your situation.
This is really more of a serverfault question also, if you want to try there.
Try Google Apps. You said you weren't sure if you wanted to use GA, but there's no better way to find out than to try it. It's easy to set up and if you don't like it, you can always disable it. I have personally had a good experience using GA for webmail on a custom domain.
