Ed:
Heya. Yup, it's something of a FAQ, but a good one. :) In
order to make a VNC connection either to or from a web-proxied LAN,
you need to first establish a "tunnel" of some sort through the
proxy. There are several utilities which allow this: SSH, Zebedee,
ProxyTunnel, EchoVNC.
IMO, they're all more or less the same in terms of ease in
getting them to work -- you install a client on one side of the
connection and a corresponding server on the other side, then use
the particulars of the application to connect across the tunnel. With
ProxyTunnel or EchoVNC, I think it's one step easier as you don't
need to configure a "server" to accept connections on either side of
the connection.
You can Google for the utilities easy enough, and hopefully
find the connection details you require there. Hope that helps!
cheers,
Scott
This may sound a bit of a simple question, and I apologize in advance if it
is a FAQ and RealVNC can do this and I just didn't see it in the docs, but
exactly how do you use realvnc with a proxy? Here's my setup:
1) NO direct ports to the outside are allowed from internal machines.
2) NO changes to the firewall are allowed, ie: no exceptions to number #1.
3) ALL traffic needs to go through an automatic proxy configuration URL,
which
returns back a host that is to be used to http tunnel.
Hence, I would like realvnc to have - like every other remote connection
software out there
like gotomypc and logmein - the ability to connect to a VNC server through the
IE
connection settings alone, ie: to do http tunnelling through a proxy.
For there is NO WAY that I'll be able to SSL tunnel, or otherwise touch the
proxy to
install software - and I'm sure I'm not alone here.
So - exactly how do you do this with realvnc? I thought I had the answer when I
saw the
Java viewer, but to my dismay I see that you actually need to be able to open a
port
connection outbound on port 5901-59?? depending on the display value that is
being
used on the server. This restriction instantly renders realvnc useless to me,
Anyways, like I said, sorry if this is a FAQ, but I'd like to get an answer to
this
once and for all. I have vnc enterprise edition and am running it on linux.
Thanks much,
Ed
