[dba-Tech] Extranet VPN for testing customers' web sites/web API solutions

[Salakhetdinov Shamil]

Hi Gustav --

Thank you for the example you found.

So using netsh and having VPN infrastructure activated and configured for the case

1. Customer #1 would get access to virtual IP 15.27.103.185 referring real IP:Port  123.17.82.45:2337

the Cusomer #1 should run the following netsh command:

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=80 listenaddress= 15.27.103.185 connectport=2337 connectaddress= 123.17.82.45 ?

Not sure about listenport=80 value, not sure about if it works at all what I'd like to get in this case is the Customer #1 typing

http://15.27.103.185

in his browser and accessing web site running on my cloud VM on  http:// 123.17.82.45:2337  (Use sase #1.1)

or the Customer #1 WinForms/WPF/UWP/... application communicating with a RESTFul Web API via 

http://15.27.103.185

and actually getting connected with the RESTFul Web API on http:// 123.17.82.45:2337  (Use sase #1.2)

Do you suppose use cases #1.1 and #1.2 are doable this or that way?

Thank you.
