Hello. There is something I want to achieve but do not have the necessaries to do so. But I know another way it could be achieved, I wondered if anyone knew if such service exists. Here we go:
I have two programs for the sake of the post. One's a server and one's a client. I want the client to be installed on another computer outside my network, and the server to be on my computer. I want a user to start up the client program from his computer and connect to the server through the Internet, and send a string to the server, which I can then view.
Problem is I can't set up port forwarding on my router to receive the connection and have it forwarded to the server.
This is where my idea comes in;
There is a in-between server that passes the string between the client and the "server" (which is on my computer). The "server" and client both connect to the in-between server, and any data sent from the client gets sent to the "server" and vice versa. Perhaps a user account system? You create an account on the website and get a username and password. Each account can have two connections at a time, through telnet or something and then what I explained above happens.
This is just a wild idea that I think would be very useful.
Do you get me? I hope it isn't too confusing, I've explained it the best I can.
Does anyone know if a service like this exists? It would be very useful if it did.
Thanks, Jishaxe.
