Good morning Andrew and Bob, First off Andrew thank you for your reply, however it added to my confusion somewhat. You mentioned "once you configured your devices to talk with Guac”, this doesn’t jive with me as in my installation it is Guac that talks to the devices being that there is no client on the devices to talk to Guac.
Bob, thank you as well for your input and again I must be looking at this incorrectly. Based on the reverse proxy scenario, say I have “X” number of sites with multiple devices behind a firewall at each site. Is it your recommendation to run a reverse proxy at each site in order to route requests from Guac to the devices without port forwarding through the firewall?
