  • I am limited to a single server in my environment, but have decided to better fortify my network. I currently have everything filtered and am whitelisting traffic through a DMZ proxy inbound to my Toec server.

    Thus far I have only been experimenting with Toec on my local network, and it works beautifully, however, I was wondering what ports are used for the clients to register with the server.

    I'm looking to forward those ports from a DMZ proxy into my server, whilst keeping the management console locked to the local net.

    I can't spin up a new machine due to resource limitations at this point, but have come across the need to manage endpoints off the network.

    Is this possible given my chosen design?

    Thanks!


  • Your approach is correct. Only open up port 8888 to allow the endpoints to communicate, keeping the ui and api locked down to just the internal network.


  • On this note:

    During the setup there are a few different interface entries. I am seeking clarification on which are local and which are public, considering the change of network configuration.

    Using https://docs.theopenem.com/getting-started/configure/ as a reference

    Local or Public?
    Com Server:
    Multicast:
    tftp:

    I ask because I am receiving the following error from the client:

    However, at my DMZ proxy I am seeing in the logs the traffic inbound, masquerading to my server, and a response being sent back out.


  • @jikeidan I definitely had an issue with my itptables ruleset - had an adapter "eth-" entered instead of "eth0" - was preventing 😃

    Thanks again!
