Re: JanusVM

First off, ICMP packets (or PINGs) will leak your real IP address.

This is why we filter out all traffic except TCP and DNS (UDP port 53).

So if you try to ping any external site or IP (like www.google.com), it will fail.

 

Also, Tor will slow down your connection, sometimes when it gets really busy, your connection to websites will time out.  This is the price of only a few thousand people supporting a few hundred thousand people you use Tor.

 

After you connect the VPN (from Windows) to JanusVM, try going to http://www.janusvm.com or http://janusvm.peertech.org (same site) and check the Tor status of you connection on the left side of the page.

 

Pieces of information that would be helpful:

\- What OS are you running this under

\- What VM product are you using (Player, Workstation, Server)

\- Total amount of RAM on the HOST environment (not the VM)

\- The internal and external (LAN) IP addresses reported on the screen of the VM.

\- The status on the left side of the page at http://www.janusvm.com before (optional) and after you connect to JanusVM.

 

Hope that helps.

Hi all!

 

I'm having trouble getting JanusVM to work on my

WinXP Home laptop.  Once installed (viewed online

instructions), I can ping all VM's Virtual IP

addresses (192.168.229.1/192.230.1), IP addresses on

local network (172.16.0.1/254), and IP addresses of

VPN (10.10.10.1/10).  But I cannot ping outside, ie

google, etc.  Nor can I actually pull up a website.

What am I doing wrong here.  Thanks

 

Tony

Re: JanusVM

Hi Mike,

  I have gotten both Linux VM's and Windows VM's to work with JanusVM.

A little bit more information is needed in order for me to understand why you're having this problem.

 

\- What is the internal (VMware NAT'd) and external (LAN or VMware Bridged) IP address of your JanusVM.

\- What is the IP address of the other VM you want to connect to JanusVM.

\- What is the IP of your HOST OS (not any of the VMs).

\- What type of firewall are you running on your other VM.

 

The Internal (VMware NAT'd) interface provides a means of connecting to JanusVM through a internal IP network that is not accessible to other on your LAN, only VM's on your PC.

 

The External (VMware Bridged) interface provides a means of allowing others on your LAN to be able to use JanusVM.  BTW, you need to create new user accounts for each user on your LAN that wishes to use JanusVM.

 

If you are running this for personal use (ie, not sharing it with others), then I would recommend using the Internal interface IP address when connecting the VPN.

 

So, in Windows XP, either you launch the Run.bat script located at


New Connection Wizard).

 

Fill in the information accordingly after you've selected to create a new VPN connection in the wizard.

 

After you get connected to JanusVM, you can visit http://www.janusvm.com to see if you are being routed through Tor or not.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Kyle

 

 

Has anyone connected to JanusVM with another running

VM?  I can get to the internet via a windowsXP VM and

was trying to connect it to JanusVM running in

workstation 6.  I have vista64 as the host machine.

 

I'm getting the "
192.168.0.79....." not found

issue.

 

Thanks

Mike

JanusVM VPN Error 678

Hi Everyone

 

I have a new technical question. First I must admit I don't see the whole flash instruction file, my virtual memory runs out at 2 GB. However it all runs well until its time to connect with the VPN, after a couple of things happendes, fixing DNS leaking etc there is a count down of 10 sec. on last window. When the countsdown is done my VPN connection status changes to:

 

The remote computer did not respond. for further assistance, click More... ( Error 678) etc..

 

The Janus VM seems to be running, atleast I can ping google...

 

I also tried to create new accounts "guest1" etc. didn't help...

 

Im on a windows pro machine, any suggestions on where I should look to fix this problem?

 

Thank you for any help or suggestions!

 

EDIT: I found the problem, I was blocking "NT Kernel & System" in my firewall. Now it all works great!

 

Nordland

Re: JanusVM

It would be nice to have Janus show statistics of the traffic and connections going through it. At least to verify Janus is working correctly. I wonder how many people set this up incorrectly and they have a false sense of security because they think it's working but it's not.

Re: JanusVM

Dhcp in JanusVM is just torture. I've got a WinXP Pro laptop with it on that I've used on 2 different networks. Bad idea. It gives eth0 a class A address and eth1 a class C address. Sometimes one or the other doesn't get any kind of meaningful address. Or it gets address(es) that are already assigned by dhcp causing immediate conflicts on the network. Every time I boot it on  the class C network it assigns eth0 a class A address 10.0.0.x and eth1 a class C address 192.168.0.x in spite of the fact that I have given up trying to get it to work on that (class A) network because of the ip conflicts. Where, in the name of God, is it remembering this setting? And why? ifconfig eth1 down, killall -9 etc etc. worked once but not again. The ip errors seem to accumulate. Even when the ip addresses are seemingly logically assigned and free I get "network path not found errors" which leaves me scratching my head as to what to do next. Manually assigning the ip address and netmask is useless. I've taken to using Vidalia-Tor most of the time though this limits me. I firmly believe in the concept of JanusVM but I really don't have the time to wrestle with it to this extent. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but part of the conceptual appeal of JanusVM is of a product that is simple to use, encrypting all TCP traffic without having to manually configure separate applications.

Re: JanusVM

Tank’s  Kel  for that  nice  JanusVM appliance , I like it  but I can’t go  to internet with .Please help me..  and sorry for  my  bad English

I have : Xp pro , ADSL ,  router  ;Vmware player : VMnet8 (Nat) activate  .I use JanusVM live  with iso . I d’ont use JanusVM.vmdk  because JnusVM say that bridged mode is not running   (else  with VMnet0  activated). Maybe I don't now  to do Bridged connection ! I have only a PC.

Vmware player  and   JanusVM  is installed with XP Vpn without problem . Only   sometimes  a message  cmd  : “ CMExpeption package “ :“ That folder is invalid. Please make sure  the folder existes  and is  writable “

I have the  2  JanusVM  ip ( for  local and Lan  )   gateway VMnet8 :192.168.120.2  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0  DNS : 4.2.2.2 and  4.2.2.4 .

I have a windows with  JanusVM VPN  start , that give me the  Octets received  and the octets  send . But send are  big  bigger  than  received  (500 / 10 000 000) ??? Tor work all the time  I think.

When I  run JanusVM VPN   connection  ( logging   JanusVM guest  is ok)  I can’t have  internet  : web pages says  “server  not fund” 

In my look n’stop firewall I can see :” Authorise UDP  Exe  generic Host Process for Win32Service  Port 53; IP: 4.2.2.4  or  when I  connect Firefox  :     "  Authorise UDP  Exe  Firefox     Port 53; IP: 4.2.2.4  or  Port 53; IP: 4.2.2.2 "   but I  can’t  get  internet  ( no servers)

Sometimes I have   a strange  “search localdomain  nameserver 208.67.222.222 ( opendns ) that   auto replaces  4.2.2.4  in JanusVM  DNS  configuration and some times in my IP DNS XP pro Connexion.

I can see without  Vpn started :

UDP  resolver1.opendns.com=208.67.222.222  Ports dest 2087 Scr domain =53

 

If  I do a ping  in my cmd XP pro   with  JanusVM VPN  started    I can’t get no more Google.com.

 

With others appliances  Vmware  works fine.

 

I tried  with Qemu   without results:

http://hackszine.com/blog/archive/2007/06/surf_privately_and_anonymously.html

qemu -L . -m 80 -net nic -redir tcp:8118::8118 -boot c -hda JanusVM.img 

 

I tried  Virtualbox  but also no internet after connect icon   JanusVM VPN  

Because  is made  “under Windows 2003 environment”  and mine is under Xp pro ?

http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2007/07/06/how-to-surf-anonymously-with-janusvm/

 

Vidalia-tor  works fine   with  my firefox 

 

What is  wrong ?  What to do ?

 

This  appliance  is  known as  the most popular  , but I  don’t see in  the net and Google   goods  docs  and discussion  for it.

“Domage je pense que ça merite  beaucoup plus d’interêt de la part de tous .

 

Merci

Re: JanusVM

More precisions...

 

I  re-installed  Vmware Player  and tried again to  get   JannusVM  internet  connection.

I have  3  networks  connections   :

1.  My  Xp pro local area connection     (adls  with roteur)

Here  the  VMware Bridge Protocol is active. And  in  Internet  Protocol TCP/IP   I  writhed   the 2 DNS  Servers  given  by my provider

With  the WNTIPCFG.EXE  I know  associate  to the Ethernet Adapter  (Intel…) my private  IP  , My adapter address , subnet Mask 255.255.255.0  , Default  Gateway  :192.168.2.1 and  DHCP Server 192.168.2.1

 

2. VMnet8  connected  with   VMbrige Protocol  inactive . And in TCP/IP Protocol  Vmware installation  have  writhed   in  “Use the following IP address : IP address: 192.168.133.1   and  Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0

I  look in  Vitrtual Network Editor ( VMware Player , vmnetcfg.exe )

NAT  Menu :  VMnet host : VMnet8   ; Gateway IP address : 192.168.133.2  Netmask : 255.255.255.0  . Service Started .

DHCP Menu  Started  :  VMnet1 and VMnet8  Subnet :  192.168.133.0  Netmask : 255.255.255.0

 

3. VMnet1  not  connected 

 

I  run    JanusVM.vmdk   and I  have  without trouble  and no  alert messages

Ethernet1 : Bridged

Ethernet2 :  Nat

For Local PC 
192.168.133.131\Setup\Run.bat   and  for Lan 
192.168.2.154\Setup\Run.bat

Menu 4 , I change the guest  and  password  , connection  *  donne.

 

In Start / Run  I  enter  : PC 
192.168.133.131\Setup\Run.bat  ( for  local Pc )

I get  JanusVM  Icon   and a new connection  “JanusVM VPN     (Mini port réseau étendu (PPTP)

I start this JanusVMVPN connection  and I enter the guest /password .

Cmd /Tor DNS work   . No error , connection is ok.

In firewall everything is allowed .

I see Tor working and going outside (in my firwall)

Now  I  open Firefox : I enter Janus.com  after a moment   “ Server can’t be found” . Firewall  let-me see that  : “ UDP  Firefox   Port 53 IP 4.2.2.4  or  IP 4.2.2.2  and  nothing else

(with IE and  with JanusVm live (iso) the is the  something)

It seams when I start  a link in my navigator that  all  traffic  is locked or  no DNS resolution ??? when JanusVM VPN  is runing.

 

In active Network Processes  :

Local Adress  TCP 192.168.133.1 (is VMnet8)   Foreign Address 192.168.133.131  port 1723) (is JanusVM VPN ) ESTABLISHED    Process : System Path –NA-

 

With  TCPView Sysinternals  :

Proc : System  Protocol TCP  Local Address : 192.168.133.1:1351 (VMnet8)   Remote Address : 192.168.133.131:pptp (JanusVM VPN )  ESTABLISHED

 

__________

WITHOUT   JanusVM VPN  connection runing I have :

In  Firefox  with the link  http://www.janusvm.com/  :

local address ( my private ip)  local port    / (  foreign address) : 66.135.40.74   foreign Port   . Is good!

 

WITH  JanusVM VPN connection runing  I have :

In  Firefox with the link  http://www.janusvm.com/  :

Local Adress  TCP 127.0.0.1     Foreign Address  \*.*   __________

or

Local Adress  TCP 127.0.0.1     Foreign Address 127.0.0.1   ESTABLISHED    Process : Firefox  Path : My  c:\ firefox  path. 

(Firefox  Can’t found  the server   address www.janusvm.com , google or other.

 

OBS:

CHX 3  Packet Filter    can say : 

Incoming  Interface : Private Wan  EthType :IP   Protocol UDP  Source IP : 4.2.2.4  Source Port 53  Destination IP : 10.10.10.10  Destination port  1254   Reason «  Does not match allow policy

 

Later I found in  My  Xp local area connection that   DNS servers   have changed :to   208.67.222.222     and 208.67.220 220  (opendns) .

Who does that ?

VMplayer ? JanusVM ? Tor ? Privoxy ?  a Trojan ? ( very dangerous thing)

Some times in place  of JanusVM DNS,  nameservers  4.2.2.2  , change to 208.67.222.222  (opendns) .

très bizarre !!!! à suivre pour la securité et anonimat.

 

Merci for your help, ideas  and experience .

Re: JanusVM

I am really excited about JanusVM. Yesterday I tried first time and it worked.

 

One question though: would it be possible to have it portable, so I could run it from  my USB stick? Or is there a problem with vmware/other virtual engines, which need to be installed in windows?

Re: JanusVM

I have a Mac Pro and a Fusion with WindowsXP and a JanusVM running on it. I found JanusVM working nice with easy install using Windows and thought I use JanusVM with OS X too.

 

I connect with JanusVM with Internet Connection VPN(PPTP) and it says, that there is a connection via VPN to the internet. Nothing works - not intern, not extern!

 

Has anybody a working system OS X 10.4 with JanusVM?

All I ask for is 100% ANONYMITY

I'm not too familiar with advanced security technical concepts.

 

I have just one concern and that is ANONYMITY

 

I have been very very satisfied with web-based proxy (proxify.com)

 

So my question is:

Does JanusVM completely mask/hide my true IP   from the other site ?

and protect me from the various "tricks" a site may use to get my REAL IP ?

 

And whose IP  is actually visible to  the other site ?

 

thanks

Re: JanusVM

 

Hi Kyle,

 

 

I am also trying to run JanusVM on my ESX Server and have obviously failed in doing so.  Is it still possible to download the boot-image.iso from somewhere, if so I would really appreciate it.

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers

Re: JanusVM

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this or not, so I'll apologize in advance if it isn't. I'm running JanusVm in VmWare player, the host machine is Windows Xp Home SP2. Everything installs/runs just fine and the DNS leak fixer seems to work. When I go to the Janus homepage it tells me that I'm using a known Tor node, yet I get "server not found" from Firefox whenever I try to access any Tor hidden services. Any help or advice that could be thrown my way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
