Cloud server


Good day

can someone please assist me to tell me were I can create a cloud online server to access online

I want to be able to view a Kali server with a GUI to do my labs

I tried AWS, they do not have a GUI

Linode does not support Kali

I would also be able to access a VM with data, but I dont have signal in my office

Regards

I am unclear what you mean by "do not have a gui" because if you have access you can install a gui. I would recommend not running a gui native/local (no one will ever see it anyway) but configuring VNC to run secured by ssh and presenting a desktop. Since all access is remote anyway, this should serve well enough.

VNC does slow things somewhat, so I recommend a very minimal, fast desktop environment.

Really no idea what you're asking for/wanting. You have been here for 12 years at this point. You have been asking about Kali, certifications, and other training for at least the past two:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ng-4175659878/
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...sa-4175669751/

...along with installing things on pi's, CentOS server, etc. So what 'labs' do you need to do after twelve years?? Why can't you use the very computer you're posting here with, to install Kali on a virtual machine for FREE?? And why can't you perform a search for cloud servers that DO support Kali, if that's what you want?

I must admit,the second quistion was a bit stupid, the 1st one maybe not so much

BI must admit, you are the reason why I prefer so stay from forums


Don't you think after I have tried for the last 2 months to get this to work, I was thinking, lets ask someone on the forum, maybe somone had the same issue and have a solution since I have tired internet searches almost every day. I was seqrching on Youtube also

I have a couples of servers at work, I have VM's running, I have over 5 Raspbery PI'S, a pc and 2 laptops. It still does not solve my problem.

I need a online server with a GUI interface since my works blocks a certain port I need access Kali, so I need a solution from outside so I can bypass my works firewall.

I did try to use AWS and Linode, and they don't work with Kali Gui interface.

So please keep youre rude answers to yourself if you dont want to help.

I will try to post agaian here.

Sorry to trouble you

I should point out that both of those work quite well with Debian and that all of the tools you can get for Kali are available for Debian. In fact, it is based on Debian Testing. So if you are in a hurry about it, I would recommend going with Debian and adding the tool or tools that you planned to use from Kali. The only "advantage" that Kali has is that it can save time by prepackaging certain tools and you're not saving any time pursuing Kali on AWS or Linode.

However, if you really do have some reason that it has to be Kali, then 1) it would be quite interesting to hear why, and 2) you can probably use a similar work-around as is used for NetBSD and OpenBSD: https://chrispinnock.com/2021/05/18/openbsd-on-aws/

tldr; debian

If you don't like the answers you get, you may need to adjust either your questions or your expectations. We can try to help people, but asking folks to look things up for you won't get you far.

No, I don't think you've tried for two months, since there are abundant resources available for you to find with a search on any search-engine of your choice. And we have NO IDEA what you've done/tried unless you actually TELL US, do we??? There are thousands of hosting companies available, but again; WHY???? If you just need to run Kali, you can load it in a virtual machine on what you have, for free, and have your 'GUI' with your full Kali desktop. What else do you need to do your 'labs'???

Again: your question makes *NO SENSE*

You claim to have multiple servers, 5 Pi's, a PC and 2 laptops....and out of all of those machines, not ONE OF THEM can run Kali in a virtualbox??? Not a single one?? Again, hard to believe, since there are instructions on the Kali forums on how to run Kali on a pi. And pretty much any PC or laptop can easily run Virtualbox, and you can load Kali in it easily (which is, again, what the Kali website even suggests). And since all of these run on your local machine...they don't pass your firewall at all, do they???

Further, since your question is now about circumventing your employers network security, this thread has been reported; read the LQ Rules.

Again: there are more than two hosting services available....if you honestly expect people to believe you've spent TWO MONTHS looking and have only found two, you are mistaken. Again, you not only have ample hardware and resources to run Kali locally, but have full documentation and twelve years experience with Linux...shouldn't be too hard to do.

"I need a online server with a GUI interface since my works blocks a certain port I need access Kali, so I need a solution from outside so I can bypass my works firewall."

If Kali will be used for work purposes, you can ask your firewall administrator to open up those ports for your Kali workstation. If not, you may be violating your company's internet usage policy.

Good luck!

Indeed; but again, you are saying you've searched for two months, and have been unable to find more than two hosting providers??? Very hard to believe, since I get more than 350 THOUSAND hits, with at least five on the first page of hits that explicitly mention Kali.

You spoke to who?? Read the LQ Rules...asking about how to circumvent network security is explicitly against the rules, period. Your employer is well within their rights to fire you for doing such things also. And again, your goal appears to be wanting to use Kali for your 'labs'....you have abundant hardware and twelve years experience. Yet you can't load it ANYWHERE to do your work??

Again; hard to believe.
