B4J Question B4J-bridge remote WindowsOS debugging via NAT

[peacemaker]

HI, All

Is there way and tutorial how to develop B4J app via B4J-bridge on a remote Windows PC ?
Standard Internet connections behind NAT routers both sides.

Are you able to ping the remote computer ip address? If so then it should work.

ping the remote computer

No, if i could... But debugging a remote hardware connected to a remote Windows PC requires direct running on those PC...

Maybe we can write a "B4J-bridge-server" for a VPS host that can help to debug apps in this situation ?

You must just open specific ports... or just DMZ the ip address of two PCs... also open firewall ports at any pc or just add b4j.exe (and any exe in folder b4j)

not secure if you wanna do that for a vps - ofcourse....

Thanks, a detailed for sure checked tutorial would be super...

1)First you must have access at your routers (at the side they are, from the pcs)...
2)Login on the router(s) with username/password
3)Firewall, PortForward, NAT, add the local ip and the port in and out (usually the same) - or simple DMZ (must be as option at the router) the local ip address
4)Do the same at the other router
5)At windows / Firewall... add the exe(s) of b4j folder to have incoming/outcoming (Advance Firewall settings) at both pcs...
or if you have 3rd Antivirus I/S... do it at the Firewall Settings...


ps: Also inside any of your two LAN's you must not using dynamic ip (dchp)... but have static IPs...
