pwnat NAT to NAT client-server communication.

pwnat NAT to NAT client-server communication. Someone might find it useful.

From the host site: pwnat, pronounced "poe-nat", is a tool that allows any number of clients behind NATs to communicate with a server behind a separate NAT with *no* port forwarding and *no* DMZ setup on any routers in order to directly communicate with each other. The server does not need to know anything about the clients trying to connect.

Simply put, this is a proxy server that works behind a NAT, even when the client is behind a NAT, without any 3rd party.

pwnat - NAT to NAT client-server communication

If anyone wants to go ahead and install it (before and if it gets into the repo)(also bear in mind if you do you are on your won for support, problems etc.) then it is a simply matter of download unpack and run the program.

# wget http://samy.pl/pwnat/pwnat-0.2-beta.tgz
# tar -xvf pwnnat*
#./pwnat -h

hI Archangel-Amael,
In Samys site the commands are give for both client & server. I am attempting to run this from with Vmware workstation. Do I under I download the code in for 2 clients and 1 server? is proxy host the servers IP address?
What is remote host - is it a second client IP?
In the server - is local host the client IP, which port is proxy port
What is allowed port, allowed port

usage: ./pwnat <-s | -c> <args>

-c client mode
<args>: [local ip] <local port> <proxy host> [proxy port (def:2222)] <remote host> <remote port>

What goes where, I am going to attempt this using VMware workstation. Do I require 3 machines, What is remote host?

-s server mode
<args>: [local ip] [proxy port (def:2222)] [[allowed host]:[allowed port] ...]

Archangel-Amael... awesome tool, thank you!
