I need a peer to peer connection exclusively for S (wodVPN)
hello,
I want a peer to peer connection exclusively for SQL Server. The problem is that we are currently using Static IP connection to connect our remote SQL server machines. The most tedious task with static IP connection is that it needs a complex configuration of ports and other stuffs and this is so complicated that we cannot recommend this option to our clients.
I came across your wodVPN and i have some questions regarding this.
1) What are those merits that wodVPN can provide over static IP connections in the context of SQL server connections ?
2) I dont want a full fledged VPN connection like hamachi provides. I just need only SQL server machines to connect each other over the internet. How is this possible ?
3) How secure is this connection ?
4) Can i really solve the intricate and hard work of configuring ports and other stuff if i use this wodVPN ?
hope you will b answering my questions soon.
PS: Can you send me a sample in VB6 that cud be used to connect my SQL server machines ?

Hi.
wodVPN can help you route specific ports or whole network traffic between two computers over internet - without configuring special ports on your router. Idea is just start two instances of wodVPN's on two sides, and they will try to establish direct link using UDP. Once established, they will route packets the way you need it through predefined Channel objects.
So, using it only for SQL is fairly easy. Take our basic sample use add port 1433 to the forwarding, and that's it.

So please explain with code on how i go about and connect 2 sql server machines with your basic sample
And ofcourse you didn't answer my first question
1) What are those merits that wodVPN can provide over static IP connections in the context of SQL server connections ?
And when i tried to install the demo setup that i downloaded from your site it asks me whether i want to install weonlydo virtual network adapter.
So do i need this network adapter if iam only using it to connect 2 sql server machines ?
Re: I need a peer to peer connection exclusively f
Hi. I tried to explain the benefit - wodVPN doesn't require static IP addresses, and both sides can be behind firewall.
As for the code, if you take our first sample, in wodVPN1_Connected event, replace line where channel is added to
wodVPN1.Channels.Add LocalListed, 127.0.0.1 , 1433, 127.0.0.1 , 1433
so local wodVPN instance listens on local 1433, and reidrects all connecton to remote wodVPN, which then redirects htem to his-side 127.0.0.1:1433
That should do the trick.

Kreso,
I already know wodVPN doesn't requires static IP, many of my customers are using static IP which is expensive and complex to configure and iam gonna explain them about your solution so apart from the zero configuration what all advantages does wodVPN have over static IP connection ? thats my real question means
And again you didn't answer my second question. Let me be more specific this time i.e you said
wodVPN1.Channels.Add LocalListed, 127.0.0.1 , 1433, 127.0.0.1 , 1433
so local wodVPN instance listens on local 1433, and reidrects all connecton to remote wodVPN, which then redirects htem to his-side 127.0.0.1:1433
so does the above solution requires me to install you weonlydo virtual network adaptor ?
Hope you will be answering all my questions this time [:wink:]
Re: I need a peer to peer connection exclusively f
Hi,
If you know IP and port where wodVPN listening you don't need to use Mediator. So if you have static IP and you can open port inside your firewall where wodVPN will listen you don't need to use Mediator.
That's only advantage that comes to my mind.
You don't need to install and use wodVPN virtual network adapter when using port forwarding inside wodVPN. Why don't you check our 1. Simple sample and let us know how it goes?

Re: I need a peer to peer connection exclusively f
i have executed the wodVPN sample but I cannot run it even in a single machine.
Please look at the screen shot

Hi,
Is there any chance you can show us your Search Method line?
