Could not make Xammp hosted local website work over VPN - xampp

We have been using Xampp at local Windows 7 system for quite sometime and now intend to share its VPN access to remote developer.
I tried using Team viewer VPN but it didn't let me run host services/GUI at remote system, however allocated private IPs were ping-able and shared directories were accessible.
Pl suggest me free VPN application & process to achieve remote access to Xampp files & GUI.
Thanks

Steps required to SSH into Azure Windows VM from a Linux VM

Having created a Windows Azure VM and opened ports 3389 and 22 for inbound RDP and SSH connections, respectively.
I can successfully connect to the vm via RDP from a remote Windows PC.
Testing SSH connection in the Portal succeeds. However trying to connect from a remote Linux VM using SSH fails.
Given that SSH connection test within the portal succeeds, it suggests that (1) it is possible to SSH into a windows VM; and (2) there is no other config require on the server ie installing OpenSSH (or similar) / Copying over key file(s) to some location etc. However, the help steps in the Azure Portal for my Windows VM, for making remote SSH connections suggest that maybe a public key needs to exist on the server and that I need the private key on the LinuxVM I am trying to connect from.
Please could someone help me understand if ssh into windows Azure VM is possible and if so, the requirements / minimum set of steps (on the target Windows VM and the source Linux VM) I need to get to a state that I can successfully SSH.
Other posts re similar question posted have not helped me connect via ssh. I have not found a 'golden source of truth' on Microsoft docs. Maybe I missed it.
Thank you.
A Windows Server doesn’t typically come pre-built and ready to go with SSH access and it requires some setup. You can follow this to set up your Azure VM for SSH access. You can configure SSH on a Windows Azure VM for access, check out How to Set Up OpenSSH on a Windows Server. After deploying the OpenSSH, you can follow the steps about connect via SSH with client in the Azure portal on your Linux client to access that Windows VM via SSH.

How to rdp from mac to azure vm through vnet gateway

I am trying to rdp from my local mac to an Azure instance through a (IKEv2) vpn connection. I am never prompted for a password, and it looks like the connection just times out. The error code I get is 0x204.
I have tried using both Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 and 10 for mac.
The connection is active and reports that it is connected.
From the mac, I can connect to another VM (in the same azure account) which is not running behind a vpn.
From Parallels Desktop (with networking set to Shared mode and the vpn connection active on the mac), I can successfully connect using the windows rdp client.
So it seems the Microsoft RDP-client for mac is not using the vpn connection.
Is there a way to make it do so?
Is there another solution, that will allow me to rdp to an Azure VM from my mac (without going through Parallels)?
Note: This is not the same question as this, since that is not about going through an azure vnet gateway.
I needed to add hosts file entries for each azure site I needed to access.
For example for accessing my-vm-name.someregion.cloudapp.azure.com, I needed to add a hosts file entry for it's private IP within the subnet. E.g. 10.2.0.100.
The reason everything worked in Windows under Parallels, is that the relevant entries had already been added to the hosts file previously.

how to Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network?

I have a WI-FI & LAN network at office. I have all my files on my desktop computer (192.168.1.2) and want to access local host over there from another computer (192.168.1.8).
My xampp version is v3.2.2 and windows 7 64 bit.
On my desktop I can access localhost through the normal http://localhost. Apache is running on port 80 as usual.
Exactly what do I have to do to achieve this? There is documentation on the net but they either don't work me or are too old and confusing to understand.
Any ideas as to what changes to make it possible? Please give me step by step instructions.
User should have access of your localhost, you can check this by sharing the folder and check on other machine that folder is accessible or not, If it is accessible then that user easily can access your local host by using the http:/IPAddress, If not contact to IT department they will help to achieve this by removing some restriction on network.

Not able to access TFS on Windows 10

I'm trying to reach a TFS server (either via VS2015 or Web) from my Windows 10 dev box with no luck. I keep getting timeout error
This server is on a remote network that I access via VPN.
I've tried on different Win10 boxes, and it is the same problem.
People in the local network (no vpn) also tried on Windows 10 with no luck
If I access the server on a Windows 7 dev box, everything is OK.
I am able to access a different TFS server (located on my domain network) correctly; same port and protocol.
I disabled the computer firewall
Any clue?
Try to use the IP Address such as http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8080/tfs instead of http://compandyname:8080/tfs

Accessing my Local Host from different computer in a different network

I'm current using Xammp,and have created a website in the htdocs. I want to know if i can access this from another computer (not in the same network) and work on the site from that other computer.
You can do this by using the dynamic dns service provided by noip.com. Download the noip client and setup an account in it (try Googling on it).
After that you must edit the conf files in XAMPP to allow outside network to communicate with your network.
