Title: BoincTasks thru Proxy
Post by: x3mEn on April 18, 2011, 01:20:48 PM
What about to add a possibility to touch remote clients from BT through proxy?
Boinc Manager has this possibility: HTTP Proxy, SOCKS Proxy...

Is on my list. I will check if that's possible.
The HTTP Proxy, SOCKS Proxy are available, but only for the client.

A very cool idea (I'd love to have it), but unfortunately it will most probably not work "out of the box" unless you have some kind of a gateway-machine.
When you need a proxy, you will also need to configure the firewall (for each PC you want to see from outside!) and even if you are allowed to do so, it's a lot of work.
So you'd need one PC on each side of the proxy collecting data from "their" BOINC devices and then communicating with each other...

Yes, I've already understand that this wish is unreachable.
Because even BoincManager HTTP Proxy, SOCKS Proxy are used only for connecting the host (localhost only?) with projects and can't be used for connecting with remote host.
