Re: Some basic (idiotic) queries regarding tunnelling-proxy

[Ajay Garg <ajaygargnsit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just wondering if we could pass an already-opened-TCP-socket instance to the browser.

Intention is just to prevent the socket-creation on the browser (instead passing the already connected socket to the broswer), and let the browser start over from there on.

Do I make sense?

Hi All.

I could have the proxying to work perfectly, using the awesome step-by-step link at https://devops.profitbricks.com/tutorials/configure-apache-as-a-reverse-proxy-using-mod_proxy-on-ubuntu/. Whenever I opened a URL of type http://Intermediatary/path/to/url in *Server*'s browser, the contents of page http://HTTP-Server/path/to/url opened up.

Still, this requires the *Intermediatary* to have a public static IP-Address.
Can this be done away with?

Will be grateful for any replies.

Thanks and Regards,

Ajay

Hi Rainer.

Thanks for the help.

I did some more googling, and (if I am not wrong), it seems https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_http.html almost fits in our needs.

We run mod_proxy on the *Intermediatary*.
The end-user then opens a browser in *Server*, types in the hostname://path of the *Intermediatary*, and the mod_proxy then proxies the HTTP-stuff bi-directionally between the *HTTP-Server* and *Server*.

My only concern, is that this solution needs the *Intermediatary* to have a public static IP.

Is there a way objective can be achieved without needing to provide a public static IP to *Intermediatary*?

I don't understand what half of your statements may exactly mean, but
this doesn't appear to be an apache httpd related request. I think
the dynamic proxy option of most ssh clients (-D for openssh), used
as a SOCKS proxy in your browser may solve your problem. If that
doesn't help, some sort of VPN tunnel may be an alternative.
