Hello everyone,
when connecting to an host behind NATs (Networks Address Translators),
theres to do port forwarding from/to every NAT in the route; i know it
is possible to address this problem with the "Listening VNC viewer"
feature which makes the viewer to bind a port and get called by a remote
server which is the behind-nat-host; but whats the solution if both ends
are behind some NATs ?
A solution i can see is to run a special, listening, "VNC Proxy"
application in a host with public IP address and let the
behind-nat-hosts connect to it; it will do the trick, forwarding the
data through the incoming connections.
Theres anything like this around ? Theres anything for Linux OS ?
Regards,
Giacomo.
