Networking and servers • Re: Which is the "Proxy"?

Depending on your software skills and the capabilities of your router, you may be able to configure the "non-proxy" Pi to listen to a different port number and forward that. Or your router may be able to take traffic on a specified port and forward it to a system on the LAN under a different port number. E.g. receive on port 8080 and forward it to port 80 on the other Pi.

Using a non-standard port has the additional advantage of being mildly less obvious to those attempting to break in to your systems. Not a substitute for decent security, but a (very) small added addition to existing security.
Thanks. I think that I have been trying that to date but was/am having problems with it. I am now trying to formalise things using a domain name as opposed to a DDNS.net hostname.

Your advise is appreciated.
