## Abstract
|
||||
We focus here on escaping NAT for the project P2PRC. The intial
|
||||
plan is to use a middle server with an IPV4 address to escape NAT.
|
||||
The future plan would be to use a WebRTC approach to where we
|
||||
use a middle server to intansiate a direct p2p connection
|
||||
using UDP sockets with nodes behind NAT.
|
||||
|
||||
## Archtecture plan
|
||||
The server behind NAT would use a reverse proxy server with an IPV4 address
|
||||
to be a possible way to communicate with the outside world.
|
||||
|
||||
Ex:
|
||||
```
|
||||
NAT
|
||||
|
|
||||
Server <--> Reverse Proxy server with <--> Clients
|
||||
| public IPV4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We use the libaray known as [frp](https://github.com/fatedier/frp).
|
||||
"frp is A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT
|
||||
or firewall to the internet."
|
||||
|
||||
The server behind the NAT IPTable would be broadcasted through the reverse proxy.
|
||||
The mapping would be done automatically though P2PRC because the reverse proxy
|
||||
could have certain ports already taken.
|
||||
|
||||
We are introducting a new concept of detecting reverse proxies over P2PRC.
|
||||
We call this ``` reverse_proxy_server.json ``` and ``` reverse_proxy_mapping.json```.
|
||||
|
||||
This draft is still underway :)
