• https://github.com/vakuum/tcptunnel

Building the server

Building the server requires a recent version of the CMake build system. To build the server, invoke the following commands in the server directory:

cmake .
cmake --build .

Networking setup

The testing JavaScript accesses the server by 'sc_server.com' domain name on port 10522 So, make sure you have TCP 10522 port open for inbound access on the Ubuntu PC/VM In the test setup add the following line to the 'hosts' file on the Windows machine

ip_address         sc_server.com .

"ip_address" here is the Ubuntu PC/VM static IP
