Accessing service from a different computer in different network

aflaldf

I am trying to run GSA captcha breaker as web server from a windows server and access the service from other servers  (linux) over the internet but I am finding it difficult? please help

Sven

A manual is here: https://docu.gsa-online.de/captcha_breaker/act_as_remote_server

this is for connecting through the local network it seems but this also doesn't work for me, what if I want to connect over internet.

Sven

No, it's working also from a remote server not on LAN. In the sample it uses 0.0.0.0 as Interface so it's the external one.

Thanks Sven it worked. just had to add a rule in firewall

Sven

maybe show how you did that so I can update the manual?

ok 
Go to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
Select Inbound rules and add a New rule
Select Rule type as 'Port' and click Next
Select TCP for rule apply to option and add  the port you want to use in Specific ports. Click Next
Select 'Allow the Connection' as the action.
And continue to Finish to complete the rule. 

Then access using the ip address of the server from other machines you can access GSA like

http://ip:port/gsa_test.gsa
