Jenkins on Windows Server - how to connect to VPN - jenkins

I have a VPN on a Windows Server that I need to connect to via Jenkins that runs on this Windows Server 2012.
Should I use RasDial?
Should I use VPN Client Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell ? I cannot see how to connect via this page - there are various other commands.
Any advice please?

localhost refused to connect when trying to access jenkins on windows

I installed jenkins on my windows PC and it was installed successfully. I put the installation on port 8085 and was able to access jenkins by visiting localhost:8085, then I shut down my PC. However, the next day when I opened my PC again it gave localhost refused to connect!
I did not give a user while installing and it was running locally.
How do I resolve this?
I guess Jenkins was installed as windows service, so after restarting your PC Jenkins service on your machine was stopped.
For automatically starting your Jenkins service after failures, you should check properties of service --> recovery settings.

Jenkins : Unable to access jenkins in local machine

I'm trying to create a Test automation Pipeline to run my selenium scripts, I installed Jenkins in windows Remote Server 2012. Used following cmd($ java -jar jenkins.war) to start jenkins. It is working fine in Remote server with url:http://localhost:8080/
But when I'm trying to access it outside Remote server(my local machine) it is not working. am getting error message "This site can’t be reached"
My local laptop and Remote server is under the same proxy org network.
Can someone help how to resolve this issue , so that other folks can access it and run jobs when required from their laptops
Thanks in advance
Access Windows Firewall.
Add an inbound rule to allow port 8080 and
try accessing the url from any machine in the network.
you could allow/restrict access to all IPs, range of IPs or allow all. But to nullify the issue and confirm if its an issue with whitelisting IPs, I'd first allow access from all IPs with the wildcard *
for Debugging if its a port whitelisting issue, you could also telnet from the machine that you are trying to access this machine -
try
telnet remote machines IP Port
note: do not use a colon for port input just use a space

Connecting to Firebird 3

I have installed Firebird 3.0.1 on a PC and on a VM client. I installed Flamerobin on both to test the connection.
I can connect to localhost on both PC and VM using Flamerobin, so I assume the Firebird server is running on both and Flamerobin is installed on both OK
I can connect to the Firebird server on the VM from the PC and open a database Ok
From the VM I can open a database on the PC, but when I try to retrieve the server version on the PC I get an error ISC_Service_attach failed (Unable to complete network request to host).
I have no idea what the problem is given that I can open a database ok, but cannot access any of the utility services.
I am using fbclient.dll 3.0.1.32591 on both VM and PC
If you can achieve network request to server, you need to check firewall setings on server and set fb default port as inbound acceptable. If you would had same problem after that, than you probably need proper fbclient library, for FB3 on client, VM. Hope this helps.

Monitoring Openshift Jenkins Gear via CCTray

I've managed to modify CCTray using a transport extension to connect to a local Jenkins server running on my locahost. I cannot however connect to the openshift remote jenkins server which has been setup on my account.
I can access it correctly from the Openshift Jenkins Web URL however I can't connect to it using the CCTray transport extension, it just times out. I think it's because it tries to connect to the actual port the Jenkins server is running on and this is being blocked.
Would installing and running the client tools/ssh comms fix this problem?
Or is this impossible to do. It is a very nice notifications tray program so would be great to get it working.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated!
So openshift only has 80 and 443 open externally and so if CCtray is trying to connect to the port itself then it won't be get to it. Can you configure CCtray to use the public URL to interact with Jenkins?
