Hi Nader,

The Socket Error # 10061 Connection refused. indicates, that the connection is blocked for this particular IP address / port combination. You can open a web browser on the remote probe machine and open the web page https://PRTG-Public-Address:23560

This connection is currently not working within the web browser, so there might be various reasons for this:

  • The port is not open on the destination machine
  • The port is not open on the remote probe machine
  • A firewall inbetween the remote probe and server is blocking the access

Best regards, Felix

Hi Nader,

First, you will need to allow Remote Probes to connect to your PRTG Core Server. This can be done via the PRTG Administrator Tool on your Core Server. Please do also ensure that the remote IP address is not blocked.

Afterwards, if the Remote Probe still does not connect, you can have a look into the log files of the Remote Probe:

C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Logs (System)\PRTG Probe Log (1/2).log

Do you see any entries which are referring to the connection?

Best regards, Felix
