Do a local port redirection?
Hello.
I'm running a program on a local computer that is accessed from users remotely. For security reasons, I don't want to use the default port that the program listens to for connections, but unfortunately, I can't change the port the program listens on. As well, the firewall I'm using (a SonicWall) doesn't allow redirection from one port to another (it only allows port forwarding, but I can't have it listen on one port and then redirect to another port on the local machine - very annoying and limiting). So, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a local file I can edit that will solve this issue.
Basically, it's like this:
- Firewall listening on port 5002
- accepts outside connection on that port and forwards to local machine on port 5002
- I need the local machine to then redirect that connection from port 5002 to port 5004 (on itself)
Anyone know how I'd go about doing this?
Thanks,
Kristin.
