I'm testing it while ratting myself.

When i set the DNS/IP to my internal IP or 127.0.0.1, it works fine, but when i try using an external IP or Internal IP via No-ip, it fails to connect.

Very strange. Anyone else have a clue what could have caused this?

Are you port forwarded correctly?
When you are using your local ip you do not need to port forward.

Well I was told with the vpn im using i shouldnt need to portforward because all ports our open. But i did port forward and still got the same outcome :-(

He's not an idiot, he just hasn't heard. Calm down, not everyone spends 9 hours a day on HF.

Well i have tested it without no-ip, just with my external ip and still no dice.

You could use your own IP Address if you wasn't planning on spreading.

SnoopyKitten - your username is awesome..

But I cant use my own external IP, that doesn't work either. The only thing that works is my internal IP :-( which sucks

Well I ran a netstat, and the ports are definitely being listened to by my rat. But I tried to forward them on my router and still no dice. Using a vpn used to work, but recently I dont know, now even that's not working.
