Hello, I would like to use VNC for some online training but we are running
into firewalling issues. The problem stems from VNC using only ports 58xx.
Most corporations and people in the know will block all ports except for a
few given ones like httpd etc,etc, into their network (duh, tell us
something we don't know.).
Well, I want these people to train. I don't mind using port 80 as the
incoming port, but this will only allow me ONE connection to this VNC server
(It's running Linux so the sky is the limit of course).
My question is this:
Has anyone found a way around the firewalling issues? (Besides asking said
client to open ports on their firewall?).
If so, what did you do? Did you run into any problems with proxy servers? If
not, read on.
I have been working with Apache lately to setup virtual hosts. The Apache
server will figure out WHERE the connection is going to and forward that
connection to the appropriate "server"
. What about doing something like this with mmtcpfwd (Linux port forwarding
utility)? Has anyone thought of the virtual hosts idea for VNC?
Maybe a firewall that takes in port 80 from the outside and forwards it to
58xx on the inside.
Maybe this is as easy as setting up mmtcpfwd?
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
