No. Unfortunately, the Mediator can't be behind a firewall. It needs to be reachable by both peers in order to be able to perform a search.

What if both clients know Mediator (VPN) address. Is that possible to connect? I am thinking if client content both Mediator and client, each client post its Mediator address to friend list server. When friend of client download the list will able to know where to contact. [:happy:]
Thanks

Yes. But both peers still need to be able to reach the same mediator service in order for Search to succeed. If they aren't both able to reach mediator, then Search method will fail with an error, and it peers won't be able to connect.

Yes meaning it is possible for mediator locate behind the firewall if clients know the address (IP/PORT)?

David,
Even if you know the IP/Port, the firewall still needs to let the traffic through. In other words, he would either need to be put into DMZ, or the specific port should be open on the firewall.

David,
I can't really say. If yes, then it shouldn't be hard to understand the code.

Thank you so much for your hard work and commitment in producing well thought-out solutions. WeOnlyDo is very committed to customer satisfaction!

The people at WeOnlyDo are amazing! ... I always get a super fast response from customer service, and the products are great too. Thanks WeOnlyDo

...with WOD's excellent support I was able to bypass Winsock and focus on the task at hand...

The SFTP ocx is one of the finest pieces of programming I have seen. It worked out of the box...

You made it so simple for us to integrate SFTP - a technology we had little experience with...

Your .NET components allow us to blend .NET technology seamlessly with secure communication, and with excellent technical support.

I've heard that you are amazing with your replies coming back so quickly - and now I've seen the speed in which you reply first hand.

...what I really like is that wodSSH and wodSFTP components work excellently and are constantly being improved...

May I say how nice it is to work with components so complete and self-explanatory that using them in my application is as instinctive as though I wrote them myself?

We have recently completed a large 1200+ location project where reliable Telnet and SSH connectivity was required. wodSSH worked flawlessly and allowed our staff to complete our project ontime and within budget.
