I can't encrypt the LAN traffic

general discussion

Hi all,
I introduced with UrBackup since two week and I’m very impressed - it is really great system. However, I can’t encrypt the network communication.
My server is 2.0.31 @Debian 8.5.0 and client is 2.0.30 @Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
Client status shows “Internet connection status: Connected to Internet server”, client’s args.txt file contain “–internet_only_mode true”, client’s GUI tab “Internet” fields “Enable backup via internet” and “Do full file backups over internet” and “Encrypted transfer” and “Compressed transfer” are checked all (and other fields have proper “Internet server name” and “Internet server password” too). UrBackup server’s console in “Internet” tab have a fields “Enable internet mode (requires server restart)” and “Do full file backups over internet” and “Encrypted transfer” and “Compressed transfer” and “Connect to Internet backup server if connected to local backup server” checked all. Both client & sever Urbaskup’s logs not contain records related to encryption issues. I believe that these settings (force “internet” mode and related checkboxes) are sufficient to force the communication encryption.

However, server & client working in same local network, client status shows "Servers: name_of_my_server (Internet: No), UrBackup server’s console in “Advanced” tab have all fields “*mode” set to “Raw” (for my test, for reliably detect the absence of encryption only).

But, when I track the network packets after “Do full file backup”, and my data folder contain a one long text file filled with a repeating letter, in Wireshark network monitor I see the contents of my file in clear text.

Please inquire, what should I set to succesfull protect data transmitted across a network?

Did you use enable_internet_only.bat? That still does not work, because it adds a space character at the end of each line :confused: … will be corrected.

Hi uroni, all settings I made manually. But I’ll find and will read the file “enable_internet_only.bat” and I see how it works, this can be very helpful, thanks!

edit:
I reinstalled both the server and client, and finally encryption works perfectly :slight_smile: Probably earlier I made a mistake in the configuration.
