    server :"http://localhost",//its default
    port : 80, //its default
    //secret key for authentication with proxy publisher server
    secretKey: "very_secret_key",
})

const socket  = proxyBackendClient.publish({
    //its your cloud server
    server : "http://ec2-3-120-246-199.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com/", // our cloud server's publicly reachable address
    port : 80  //its default
})
