back-proxy
Reversing proxy to you gadgets or home http-server behind NAT with dynamic WAN ip. Needs two "servers": one in Internet for you connects for proxing and second in you home for serve proxy requests.
How its works
After starting, client.js
make permanent pipe
to server.js
.
On new connection from any device to public
- server.js
send data to pipe
and client.js
opens same connection to shared
(and so one on next connections).
When connection dropped by any side - on server.js
or client.js
- other end drop connection to.
Scenario
You want to access to you gadget (like http://tessel.io who have own web server) in home LAN (ip: 192.168.0.201).
Steps
Create config (used for client and server scripts)
Please copy config.default.js
to config.js
and modify to you needs:
module.exports = {
// Public server config (where you connect to access LAN server)
public: {
host: '1.2.3.4',
port: '8080'
},
// Upstream server config (where proxy from LAN connect)
upstream: {
host: '1.2.3.4',
port: '8888'
},
// Shared server config (server in LAN)
shared: {
host: '192.168.0.201',
port: '8000'
}
};
Run node server.js
on server 1.2.3.4
Run node client.js
on you home PC
Try it
For http-server - browse to http://1.2.3.4:8080/ and you will see page from you home http-server http://192.168.0.201:8000
Note: any protocol supported, not only http. This scripts only traverse data you send to socket.
