ZeBeDee

HOWTO Setup a Windows-VPN-tunnel with ZeBeDee

Background

Tunnel Basic Setup, Client Side

1. Setup av loopback adapter:
   1. System->Control Panel->Add Hardware
   2. Yes, Hardware is already connected
   3. Add a new hardware device (at bottom of list)
   4. Install the hardware that I manually select
   5. Network adapters
   6. Microsoft , Microsoft Loopback Adapter
   7. (Go through the installation procedure.)
2. Enter a fake address, e.g. 192.168.192.168 (255.255.255.0)
   1. Open your new fake ethernet adapter (Network Connections)
   2. Disable all but TCP/IPv4, as image show on right.
   3. Click on properties for TCP/IPv4.
   4. Enter your chosen IP address (192.168.192.168), subnet mask (255.255.255.0), and nothing else
   5. Under advanced->WINS, Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
3. Download ZeBeDee to the Client
4. Unzip into a folder, I use C:\Programs\ZeBeDee
5. Edit the config file C:\Programs\ZeBeDee\SERVERNAME_client.zbd

   ####
   # Zebedee client configuration file
   verbosity 1
   detached false	# (false for service)
   
   # Client mode
   server false
   serverport 8080
   
   # serverhost SERVERNAME.domain.tld, this is the server-adress
   serverhost 1.2.3.4
   
   # ZBD-Loopback connector for SERVERNAME, the one installed above, you need one for each server...
   listenip 192.168.192.168
   
   ipmode both	# Operate in mixed TCP/UDP mode
   compression zlib:9	# Allow maximum zlib compression
   keylength 256		# Allow keys up to 256 bits
   keylifetime 36000	# Shared keys last 10 hours
   keygenlevel 2	# Generate maximum strength private keys
   maxbufsize 16383	# Allow maximum possible buffer size
   
   logfile 'c:\Programs\Zebedee\SERVERNAME_client.log'
   #
   include 'c:\Programs\Zebedee\COMPUTERNAME.key'
   
   # Setup tunnels
   tunnel 445/tcp:*:445     # SMB via tunnel
   tunnel 3389/tcp:*:3389   # Remote Desktop via tunnel
   

6. Install ZeBeDee as a service C:\Programs\ZeBeDee\SERVERNAME_client_install.cmd

   c:
   cd \programs\zebedee
   zebedee -n "ZeBeDee-SERVERNAME-p8080" -Sinstall=c:\programs\zebedee\SERVERNAME_client.zbd
   
   rem zebedee -n "ZeBeDee-SERVERNAME-p8080" -Sremove
   

7. Start the "ZeBeDee-SERVERNAME-p8080" service.
   IF you need to map a network drive to the server, (the tunnel 445/tcp:*:445 row above) you need to Disable the Port445

Disable Port445

Method 1

1. Set the Server Service to Start to Automatic Delayed:
   
2. Set the ZeBeDee to Start to Automatic:
   
3. Reboot

Method 2

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole]
"EnableDCOM"="N"
"EnableRemoteConnect"="N"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters]
"TransportBindName"=""
"SmbDeviceEnabled"=dword:0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP6\Parameters]
"DisabledComponents"=dword:000000ff

Method, after Windows 10 update

Tunnel Basic Setup, Server Side

1. Download ZeBeDee to the Server
2. Unzip into a folder, I use C:\Programs\ZeBeDee
3. Use a config file C:\Programs\ZeBeDee\SERVERNAME_server.zbd

   ####
   # Zebedee SERVER configuration file
   #
   verbosity 0	# (0-5) Output to logg file, when everything ok set to 0...
   detached false	# (false for service)
   
   # Server mode
   server true
   serverport 8080
   
   # Some communcation parameters
   ipmode both	# Operate in mixed TCP/UDP mode
   compression zlib:9	# Allow maximum zlib compression
   keylength 256		# Allow keys up to 256 bits
   keylifetime 36000	# Shared keys last 10 hours
   keygenlevel 2	# Generate maximum strength private keys
   maxbufsize 16383	# Allow maximum possible buffer size
   
   # The Public key for the server
   include 'c:\Programs\Zebedee\SERVERNAME.key'
   
   # The logfile, adjust verbosity above
   logfile 'c:\Programs\Zebedee\SERVERNAME_server.log'
   
   # Private keys, se example
   checkidfile 'c:\Programs\Zebedee\SERVERNAME_clients.id'
   
   # no default redriection
   redirect none
   
   # Tip Use real IP instead of localhost for server
   # Setup ALLOWED targets SERVERNAME IP=192.168.0.11
   target 192.168.0.11:445,3389
   target 192.168.0.11
   

4. Install ZeBeDee as a service C:\Programs\ZeBeDee\SERVERNAME_server_install.cmd

   c:
   cd \programs\zebedee
   zebedee -n "ZeBeDee-SERVERNAME" -Sinstall=c:\programs\zebedee\SERVERNAME_server.zbd
   
   rem zebedee -n "ZeBeDee-SERVERNAME" -Sremove
   

5. Start the ZeBeDee Service

Use Tunnel, eg. map drive

Remember to use both allowed targets at SERVER and tunnel at CLIENT when adding ports.

Private/Public Keys

set c=%1
if "%c%"=="" set c=%COMPUTERNAME%

cd c:\programs\zebedee
zebedee -p >%c%.key
zebedee -P -f %c%.key >%c%.id

Remember to append the SERVERNAME_clients.id file with the row in COMPUTERNAME.id file.
