In our last introduction, we set up our own data tunnel on the CPolar server, giving us a “highway” to connect remotely to our Intranet office computers. In this article, we will continue to set up the local CPolar client to create an exit for this “data highway” and make the local CPolar client aware of the data tunnel.

To reedit the existing CPolar profile, we need the help of other software. In this case, we are using VS Code (Visual Studio Code). Let’s open VS Code, click “Open New File” in the files drop-down menu in the upper left corner, and find the configuration file for CPolar according to the installation path of CPolar. Yml (default: C:\Users< username folder >.cpolar\cpolar.yml).

After entering the.yML configuration screen, we entered the reserved TCP tunnel parameters into it, namely adding a remote_ADDR parameter, as shown in the red box below:

Note that the configuration file is sensitive to the indentation of each command line, so the new parameters entered in remote_addr must be the same as the indentation of the region and addr parameters in the previous lines. After confirming that the entered command is correct, you can save and exit.

To verify that our modification to the CPolar configuration file was successful, we need to restart the CPolar background service and verify that the tunnel is started properly. As before configuring the background startup of CPolar, we still type “Services” in the Windows search bar.

In the List of Services box that appears, find the CPolar Service option, right-click the service, and choose Restart.

At this time, the local CPolar will start the tunnel service in the background again. We only need to log in to the dashboard of cPolar official website, click the “Status” button on the left, and check whether the tunnel we reserved is started accordingly to determine whether the modified configuration is valid. As long as you can see the tunnel on the CPolar website (as shown in the red box below), the data tunnel used by the remote desktop has been successfully started.

After these preparations are complete, we can try to use a fixed TCP address to access the office computer on the Intranet. We can start the remote desktop connection service on another computer by typing “FQP” in the Windows search box.

Then enter the RESERVED TCP address in the desktop connection screen that appears.

Then, we can access the computers on the office Intranet from other computers. Even if we are at home or on business trips, we can log in to the office computer remotely to access the required data with the help of CPolar. If you have any questions about the use of CPolar, please feel free to contact us and we will provide you with our best assistance.
