VNC supports reverse connections, check http://www.tinyapps.org/vnc/ But then, you need some sort of trigger from road warrior side to run "winvnc -connect <RW IP> on the server. I guess you can design the best way for this based on your setup, may be via an ASP page or even as simple as an email command. If your gateways support some sort of client authentication, may be its the best bet. Raghu On 7/5/05, Aditya Deshmukh <aditya.deshmukh () online gateway strangled net> wrote:
Hi List, I have a very peculiar problem about accessing VNC server behind gateways and proxy server... Here is the background info... I have a client who has pretty big vnc installation base mostly windows but Linux and Solaris also includes. Most of the Road Warriors have windows with vnc and ssh installed on them ( mostly winxp sp2 ) VNC is used to remote admin or support for some of the road warriors. But most of the times when the VNC server is behind a gateway like this it wont connect. [ Internet ] -- [ Gateway ] --- [ Lan ] The work about is to use the UltraVNC relay service, but if you don't have any control over the gateway this becomes impossible to operate. And I hate to open ports in the firewalls of the road warriors' computers. Is there a way something like reverse shell that allows someone to connect to a VNC server, behind gateway and through firewalls without opening any holes in it or a tcp/ip proxy that is proxy that does not allow connections from the internet ? Basically, The user initiates the connection and the helpdesk can use the same socket to the laptop for connection over VNC ( vnc encryption and compression have already been taken care of, and only one socket is needed for all this- for a firewall I would require only one hole ) Any help would be appreciated - aditya ________________________________________________________________________ Delivered using the Free Personal Edition of Mailtraq (www.mailtraq.com) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
