#24497 — Java Proxy Application

I need help with how to tackle this problem. A good example is I have a web site on my local computer that is am allowing users to access through a NATéd ip. My router has an internal ASP page that I can access at 192.168.1.1, I want my users to be able to enter the ip address of the router and have the server show the page. Users access my site through 29.xx.xx.xx so there browser can not access the 192 directly. I have looked at sockets, but I do not know it can be done to an ASP page.

Where do I start? I can not alter the network in anyway the host server is the only computer that has access to the ASP page.

Your router may support port mapping:

That's nothing to do with a proxy, regardless whether its written in Java 
or not.

Look up 'port forwarding' in your router's manual: that will let you 
direct port 80 to a specific host on your LAN. 

Be very careful: you'll be giving everybody direct access to that 
machine, so it MUST be locked up tight with a good firewall. You'll need 
to be running the Apache webserver (or some equivalent) on that port on 
the host and it must be carefully configured to restrict what hackers and 
script kiddies can do to your stuff. Apache has a lot of abilities to 
handle logins etc and control who can see particular pages but, as you 
don't see aware of either port forwarding or Apache, you have a steep 
learning curve ahead.

Best advice is 'don't do it'. Hiring small amounts of web space from a 
web hosting provider is cheap, so put your pages on a web provider and 
let them worry about security.

Right: this subject is entirely off topic for c.l.j.p so I suggest you 
move this discussion elsewhere.
