First, take a look at
https://secure.logmein.com/go.asp?pa...it_howitworks2.
It is supposed to explain how the remote control service put out by LogMeIn
works - according to LogMeIn.
It states...
-------
"Whenever remote computers connect to the Internet, they auto-identify their
location via a Secure Beacon to the LogMeIn Gateway (through Port 443 in the
local firewall).
The Gateway responds to the request and sends an SSL encrypted signal
through an HTTP tunnel (back through Port 443) establishing a secure
connection.
The Gateway then hands-off the connection for direct, peer-to-peer
communication between machines for fast performance."
-------
To me, this says that a client connects to the "Gateway" server and an SSL
connection is established. Then, the SSL connection is handed off to another
PC for "direct, peer-to-peer communications between machines".
Am I mis-understanding this? Is it possible to hand off an SSL connection to
another PC? Are they saying that they are not using a Gateway server to
bridge the internet gap between PCs after the SSL connection is handed off?
I am asking because I have a client that is a poultry processor with almost
300 farms. The farms need to be able to synchronize data between themselves
through each one's firewall.
I cannot control all of the firewall's and thought that LogMeIn's solution
would be ideal for this situation.
Any help you could give would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!
