Local server expose to the internet.

(1/2) > >>

rckanta:
I have around 100 PC, I want to expose to the internet.
I use DDNS but it is not working 100%. Most of time host is not reachable.
I don't want to use port forwarding.
What is the best way to do it?

Monkeh:
You fork out for 100 routable IPs like everyone else who wants to do something silly like that.

Well, some static/routable IP's at any rate, and a proper DNS service, not a DDNS. Depends what rckanta means by "expose"

Multiple web servers can sit behind a single IP address which could then fan out to the actual servers, it can even be done for https by using Server Name Indication (or some tinkering with certificates).

Just to expand on how to go about that, assuming rckanta wants the servers to be accessible over HTTP:

* Set up a domain name for each server (you can use a wildcard DNS entry so you don't have to set up 100 of them).
* Set up a single web server, which will need ports 80 and/or 443 forwarded to it.
* Configure the web server as a reverse proxy, so it will forward requests for each domain to the correct server.
* Marvel at how easy it actually was!

What are you trying to achieve?

Do you want to connect the PCs in a private network via the internet?
