Server And Client Separated By A Firewall - Balluff MATRIX VISION mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual

mvBlueGEMINI Technical Manual (EN) v2.6

11.2.4 Server and client separated by a firewall

In this case, the server and client are in different IP subnets without loss of generality.
11.2.4.1 Static port forwarding
The easiest access to a smart camera behind a firewall is established by port forwarding. In this
case, the firewall forwards all queries on one of its ports to a specific smart camera port, i.e. this
forwarding must be manually configured for every smart camera. The Avahi service is not used.
The client accesses the open firewall port externally.
11.2.4.2 Reverse proxy with dynamic subdomains
An Avahi service is also running on the reverse proxy web server, which automatically publishes all
smart cameras as subdomains and makes these available in its function as a reverse proxy. The
reverse proxy also requires port forwarding to be set up in the firewall.
