I can’t connect via VPN to my NEXTCLOUD, as GLOBE (ISP) PHILIPPINES IS severely throttling the connection (95%) which makes file transfer impossible
I would like to connect via my own RUSTDESK server.
What is the best way?
Kind regards
Sepp

Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can. :heart:

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

Log entries

Nextcloud

Please provide the log entries from your Nextcloud log that are generated during the time of problem (via the Copy raw option from Administration settings->Logging screen or from your nextcloud.log located in your data directory). Feel free to use a pastebin/gist service if necessary.

PASTE HERE

Web Browser

If the problem is related to the Web interface, open your browser inspector Console and Network tabs while refreshing (reloading) and reproducing the problem. Provide any relevant output/errors here that appear.

PASTE

Web server / Reverse Proxy

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

PASTE HERE

Configuration

Nextcloud

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

PASTE HERE

Apps

The output of occ app:list (if possible).

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

Hello @Sepp_Schembera,
welcome to the community of Nextcloud :handshake:

You started a topic in support category. Unfortunately you ignored the template and a lot of information to help you is missing. Please edit your original post and add all required details like Nextcloud version, webserver type and version, os version, related log file content. Use the support template.

Without additional information the community members cannot help you.

Have you considered posting a request with the Rustdesk folks?

I tried top fix it as you suggested, but it does not let me, it says new users can only do 4 links.
So i am stuck, yes i have tried the Rustdesk community

Hello @Sepp_Schembera, welcome to the Nextcloud community! :handshake:

I’m wondering why you try to post link at all. Don’t forget proper formating - e.g. post config files as “code” so there URL in the post. Review valuable beginner topics e.g.

and try to explain your problem in a way others can understand it - AFAIK Rustdesk is a remote control application I don’t really get how you expect it could improve your file transfer issue.

I would not do this, instead i would install an OpenVPN server, like OPNsense.

agree with @Sanook, any other VPN would suffice see @wwe 101: VPN service

VPN IS NOT WORKING IN PHILIPPINES, sorry

As said before VPN is NOT working in Philippines

Well, Sepp, no need to shout in ALL CAPS :wink:

And yes, the situation is unfortunate, but there’s probably not much we can do to change it. One possible way to avoid this issue in the future would be to make your Nextcloud directly accessible from the internet via HTTPS, instead of only through VPN.

As for RustDesk: I don’t use it myself, so I’m not really familiar with it. But as far as I know, it’s a remote desktop / remote support solution similar to TeamViewer or AnyDesk, not a proxy solution that can redirect HTTPS traffic directly to a web application. So a direct connection to Nextcloud likely won’t work.

What might work, though, is if RustDesk supports file transfers: you could connect to a desktop computer in your local network via RustDesk, transfer the file there, and then upload it to Nextcloud from that computer.

But again, I don’t know RustDesk firsthand.
