Hi I just finished setting up my new apache web server from my laptop running windows 7. I created the server using apache, then port forwarded my laptops ip (port 80), and finally got myself a free domain using dot.tk. Ive added a few files and done some basic html stuff, and it is successfully up running and accessible to everyone through the domain. But i have a question. Lets say someone was to download files from the site. Is my local network's bandwidth consumed? If anyone can explain how this works that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
The data will run through all segments connecting the client (your end user) to the host (your hosted web server).
So if they need to get to your house where your laptop is to get to the web server, then your house's network connection's bandwidth will be used.
If you hosted it remotely on some shared server site like Amazon instead, then the bandwidth of remote clients accessing your server never uses your home connection's resources, it only uses the resources between their computer and Amazon.

I made a server for a research project two days ago (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Apache2, PHP). I haven't set a domain name yet, so the webpage is only accessible via ip adress (in this case ipv6,inet 6addr at ppp0).
I asked a friend to try it, everything worked fine on her computer and mobile phone too. Later I asked some friends and colleagues to access the webpage but they were not able to do so. They got the 443 unreachable error message. My first friend was still able to access the webpage her computer and mobile phone. I run through some questions here and on other sites to solve this problem but nothing helped.
I asked the users to check their IP-s on https://www.whatismyip.com/. When using her ethernet and wifi at home, my first friend had ipv6 type IP address, she was able to access the site. The other users had ipv4 type address and they were not able to access my webpage. I asked my first friend to switch to the mobile internet provided by her telephone company. After this she wasn't able to access the site and she had ipv4 type IP address. After she switched back to her wifi she was able to access the page again.
What could be the cause of this strange problem? What can I do to solve it?
If the server has only IPv6 and the user has only IPv4 then they won't be able to communicate. More and more clients have both IPv4 and IPv6 these days, but unfortunately there are also many clients left that only have IPv4.
If you want your server to be reachable by them then you'll need to make it reachable over IPv4 as well as IPv6. There are free services that help you do that (cloudflare comes to mind)

I am working on a project and for that project I need a software which is on my university server. Before I was working in my laboratory. Due to some personal reason I had to leave the country. Before leaving I setup SSH and VNC on my host computer which is a linux machine with Centos distribution. After I left the country I used to access my host computer from my home country using putty and VNC viewer. Yesterday when I tried to SSH onto my host I got this Error: " Software caused connection abort". I asked the system administrator in my university and he told me that SSH is blocked for outside the country. The only solution for you is to be inside the university network first and then access the host using putty and VNC.
Can someone please walk me through how can I do this.
You will probably need to use a VPN that is located within the same country. That way the university servers think you are logging in from within the country.
For example, I am in Brazil, but when I use my US VPN most websites see me as coming from the US.
Hi I think you need to find a host in your university country and connect to that host first. Then login in to your university laboratory via that host.

I'm trying to set up an sftp on a networked server. I can access the machine through the outside world by first ssh'ing into a network login server through the following process:
ssh [network-username]#login.server.co.uk
then, once logged in
ssh [server-username]#[hostname]
Is there anyway to sftp into the networked server? I cant find a way to add the initial step into the login process.
Thanks!
You have not specified what SFTP client you are using.
In general, some SFTP clients DO allow SSH tunneling.
WinSCP for instance.
See Connect to FTP/SFTP server which can be accessed via another server only.
OpenSSH suite allows that too.
For example see Forward SSH traffic through a middle machine.
(I'm the author of WinSCP)

good day, may I ask if anyone knows if it's possible to connect two or three computers through a wifi router? It's hard to put it in one sentence so in detailed explanation, I would be making a software (java) in a main computer (I'll call it the server), another computer would then access the server through a client/server type of setup. Basically the computer (connected to the same wifi hot spot as the server) would access the software on the server either through php/jsp and utilize that software in an office setup wherein all the centralized data on the server is accessible to the connecting computer. I would put in a log-in screen first as standard practice to protect access to the server. I was hoping to ask if this is possible (since it's the same setup as using a LAN/wired connection in an office). If it's possible I'll try to research on how to do it (I heard I'll have to read more on sockets programming for this). If you need more detail on the scenario I would gladly provide it. Thank you for answers in advance.
*my next development goal would be to connect the server through a dial-up modem to connect to a remote computer connected to a dial-up modem as well. I'm trying to avoid internet connectivity to increase security problems and to make it more exclusive. Then maybe connect a couple of android tablets as well that is connected to the server for portability. so that would be around 2-3 computers connected to the server and a few portable tablets accessing the data. it would be great if anyone could point me in the direction for the first few steps on connecting the computer to the servers as well... right now I've already developed a java software that is working but it's only on the server and not connected to any router/computer at the moment.
Thanks again.
Yes, this is all perfectly possible. Your question however is in the wrong exchange. Stackoverflow is more for actual programming issues.

Is it doable to set up a non-domain-based (standalone) Windows Server 2008 as an SSTP VPN (Secure Socket Layer Tunneling Protocol VPN)?
I'd like to enable remote users to access a network via SSL-based VPN (currently using PPTP) by making an SSTP VPN connection via a Win2k8 server. Most of the docs seem to include running in an AD domain with an in-house Certificate Authority to enable this feature.
Is it possible to do this with a stand-alone Win2k8 server? If so, how?
you connect with host address for sstp. you can use standard web certificate from any ssl cert provider. that host address need to resolve to your vpn server.
step-by-step guide
http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Configuring-Windows-Server-2008-Remote-Access-SSL-VPN-Server-Part2.html
My understanding is that the certificate used as part of the authentication hasto come from Active Directory Certificate Services, and there is no way to get it from any other source (I'll admit to not trying too hard to figure out if it was possible, I was investigating SSTP for another VPN related project)
Setting up the 2008 server as a standalone AD controller would get around the issue; the client systems don't need to be in the domain.
