<div>Hi, Juli,</div><div><br></div>We will remove the ssh forwarding part then. Here's a digram with our conf files that I drew to show what I meant in the previous email. So all traffic that goest to "<a href="http://127.0.0.1:3300">127.0.0.1:3300</a>" on the client machine (192.168.0.100) will be forward to the server (<a href="http://192.168.0.101:3301">192.168.0.101:3301</a>) , and then the server will forward the traffic to the intranet (<a href="http://192.168.0.102:80">192.168.0.102:80</a>). Is this correct? <div>
<br></div><div>Thank you. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 12:47 AM, Juli Mallett <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:juli@clockworksquid.com" target="_blank">juli@clockworksquid.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Your understanding sounds correct to me at a glance. A diagram may be<br>
more helpful than text, though.<br>
<br>
Your client and server should be separate machines, whether on the<br>
same LAN or with a WAN in between them. SSH is just being used here<br>
to encrypt and authenticate the traffic between the client and server,<br>
and to forward ports on localhost so that you don't have to have ports<br>
listening where something else could connect to them.<br>
<br>
If that's confusing or unnecessary for your testing, I would suggest<br>
that you remove the SSH port forwarding from the picture entirely.<br>
It's not necessary for correct operation, and seems to be more of a<br>
stumbling block than I had assumed when I used it in the example on<br>
the website.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Juli.<br>
