I have a land-line phone through my ISP. I use it to call land-line phones free of charge like phones in Europe etc. what I want to do is that I want to use this service from any PC so I can call any land-line phone.
I'm a newbie in this but what I understood so far is that I need to install some kind of VOIP server on PC and connect that server to my home router.
The VOIP server will provide me with user name/password that I can use on a VOIP client app on any PC. So that I can authenticate myself from anywhere in VOIP server and call for free.
I hope I've explained clearly what I want to do.
Thanks alot for any help or advice that could put me on the right way.
Cheers.
You are probably better of asking this question on serverfault.com (you can also migrate this question to there by editing this question)
you didn't specify if you preferred Windows or Linux, but if Linux is OK for you I'd recommend you look into Asterisk (http://www.asterisk.org/)
While a little daunting at first, it will allow you to do exactly what you want:
* it is your VoIP server
* you connect it up to your "trunk" (the line provided by your ISP for calls)
* you put it on your network
* and you can basically authenticate to it using a softphone client on your PC or other device from anywhere and make/receive calls on the line provided by your ISP
With some of the GUI frontends, like FreePBX, basic setup is not too daunting.
Dunno though how you'd do this on a Windows box, I am not familiar with equivalent Windows technical solutions.

a friend of mine has a little server rig. He hosts a Minecraft-Server on it over his router at home. Because he doesn't wanna run it 24/7, I had an idea and I wanna ask if its possible.
My idea was to create a little website (world wide web) to start the server over wake up lan. I would run the website on my Rasperry Pie, which would be online 24/7.
Is that possible? If so, what should I learn to make the website safe, e.g. password?
Im not very familiar with website coding, but Im pretty good with software development with C-Based languages.
Im non-native speaker, so please excuse any grammar mistakes.
Thank you.
Wake on LAN works using broadcast packets, so in the local network only
And by default your router blocks those packets from the outside
You will have a bad time trying to make that works
In your case, the best choice would be to pay a little server online for your server
I know nothing about networking. so I need serious help here. I was on a Zoom call with my mentor and we were talking about the difference between HTTP, HTTP1, and HTTP2. Then he noticed that even websites which are supposed to use HTTP1 all of them were showing as if they are using HTTP2.
He mentioned possible problems are:
I'm using VPN
or my web traffic is redirected via a Proxy server. (which I'm not since I work from home via my wifi provided to me via fiber optic cable)
I suspect that there is some kind of proxy malware on my laptop. Can anybody tell me how can i detect any possible malware and find out in general what is wrong? (if anything is wrong at all)
Thanks in advance.
The range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 is one of the private IP Ranges and as you are using wifi its normally assigned by your wifi-router/accesspoint to your computer using dhcp.
But seriously, a professor who thinks he is capable talking about http(x) should know the very basics of the protocol stack. If he doesn't know such simple things, you better get someone better.
I have an asterisk Soft PBX running on my Ubuntu Machine and i managed to do extensions calls from one softphone to another by doing required configurations in the Sip.Conf as well as extension.conf.I can dial as well as receive calls.Now my next target is to make this working for the real Outbound and Inbound calls.I will tell you i am a novice asterisk player who is trying to learn the things to play with.So my questions regarding this are:
Do i need some hardware to make the required things happen, if yes,Please specify.
What are the nature of the Dialplans to execute the calls successfully.
What are the things we need to get from the Telephone Service Provider End.
Also ,i will share that i am residing in INDIA.
Please guys help me.
Thanks in advance..
No, you not need any hardware.
You need SIP trunk/voip provider.
For Remote Desktop Sessions in Linux, I want to know if there something available equivalent for what Team Viewer does for windows?
The main advantage I find of Team viewer is that it can bypass firewalls, needs no NAT configurations or port forwarding rules to be setup in the router.
One of the vnc family?
You will have to make the computer visible to the client machine, if you don't want to mess around with firewalls you will need a third party reflector service to connect both of you.
The price of dog food being what it is, we should probably plug copilot, although there are probably a bunch of free ones.
Erm, TeamViewer is not only for Windows - besides full Mac implementation, it also has Linux support (although it's beta). I haven't tried, but... Did you?
Are there any secure alternatives to XDMCP (A Linux remote desktop protocol)?
I'd like to set up some thin clients -- UI heads (old computer + mouse + keyboard) connected to VMs on a fast server. ssh -Y doesn't quite cut it, since this would be for non-savvy computer users. I'd like it integrated with kdm/gdm if possible (this seems to rule out Nomachine NX, and I don't like closed source).
I am on a private network, so I guess I'll probably end up going with XDMCP, but it would seem kinda sorry if there aren't any secure open-source alternatives.
This seems like a question for serverfault, but couldn't you just setup a VPN between the client computer and the server? That way, all traffic will be encrypted between the two machines.
Why not use ssh -X ? You could auto-logon locally with a general user and then autorun a script displaying a form for entering user/passwd which connects to a session using ssh -X...
Check out Nomachine NX, which is a secure version of X. They reduced the chattyness of the X protocol in a neat way and tunnel it through ssh. It works really well (but disclaimer - my company does resell the software). Available in free-as-in-beer single user version, or paid for enterprise version. There's also freenx, which is a GPL implementation of the server (the protocol, at least in version 3.x, is GPL).
