>> Hi everybody!<br>>><br>>> I'm looking for your help, I need to make a reverse connection with <br>>> FreeNX, like the reverse connection of VNC that the server connects <br>>> to the client and the connection is succeful, no router or firewall <br>>> configurations, can it be made? how?<br> <br><br>> "Reversing" this mechanism doesn't look (to me) to be a simple task. <br>> You would also need to make a custom client (look at the FreeNX Client <br>> QtNX for GPL'ed code) that would accept the connection from the server.<br><br>Thank you Terje, for the client y thought about using socat or Revinetd, I must test it but I think that in the client I can install those apps to listen the connection, but the thing is that the server can't connect to the server(?) <br><br><br>> I seem to remember seeing something in the code to do with initiating<br>> the connection in either direction, but I don't know if it is actually<br>> usable.<br>> Have you thought of using a reverse ssh tunnel?<br><br>Thank you Mario Becroft, yes I thought about using a reverse ssh tunnel, but in that case we must have open ports on the router/firewall and we must begin the connection in the server to the client with no router or firewall configuration, that because I mention the VNC like connection, that in the server you specify the client (that is in listen mode) and the connection is made.<br><br><br>> The straightforward way would be to establish a vpn connection, perhaps <br>> with openvpn, going whichever direction works best through the firewall. <br>> Slightly more convoluted, but perhaps easier to accomplish would be a <br>> port-forwarding ssh connection established one direction, with the <br>> freenx client using the forwarded port to connect back.<br><br>Thank you Les Mikesell, but the "port-forwarding" that you mention must be configured in the router/firewall, isn't it ? We must begin the connection in the server that is behind a router firewelled and the client have port forwarding or is in a dmz it doesn't matter, the thing is to make the connection like vnc reverse connection.<br><br>Thank you for your help. I'm still waiting for a solution (if it can be made).<br><br><br><br><br><br /><hr />¡Conoce el nuevo Calendario de Windows Live! <a href='http://calendar.live.com' target='_new'>¿Quieres tener un 2009 más organizado?</a></body>
