Here is my issue I usually run a support application which is a customized version of UltraVNC server. It launches from a client machine and attempts to connect on port 5555 to my offices WAN IP. The firewall redirects the port to my computer and I can see my clients computer as soon as the connection is made to my VNC viewer operating on listening mode on port 5555.
It works great but now I am traveling and I a hotel and want to have the same functionality. There fore I need to forward the data coming in on port 5555 on my office machine to my laptop which is BEHIND a hotel firewall.
My solution to use Zebedee in reverse tunnel mode. So I run a client on my computer with the following configuration file.
debug true
verbosity 2 # Basic messages only
message "client"
detached false
Server false
Listenmode true
Tunnel 8000:*:5555
I then connect to the client by running the server on my computer
debug true
verbosity 2 # Basic messages only
message "Server"
server true # It's a server
detached false # Detach from terminal
serverport 8000
clienthost SUPPORT
I get a connection established on the client on my work machine. So I have established the connection to the client through the hotel firewall and our work firewall. However when I try and run the VNC server at port 5555 on my office machines nothing happens on my laptop.
I have tried several variations of ports and commands. I think I fundamentally misunderstand something. Remember all I am trying to do is redirect traffic arriving at port 5555 to my laptop on the road which is also behind a firewall.
Can someone help me out with my configuration?
Thanks
