/******************************************************************************\ * Copyright (c) 2004-2015 * * Author(s): * Volker Fischer * Currently, if you want to run a private server, you have to open the firewall of your computer at the correct ports and introduce a port forwarding at your router to get it work. Using a central server simplifies the process. The user who wants to run a server just registers his server a the central server and a mechanism implemented in the protocol opens the firewall similar to STUN. REQUIREMENTS: The client sets the URL of the central server and can get a list of all currently activated and registered private servers. If the user clicks on the server of his choice, he gets connected to this server. The server list must be available in both cases: if the client is connected to the central server or not. The server list contains the name of the server, an optional topic, an optional location, the number of connected users and a ping time which is updated as long as the server list is visible (similar to the ping measurement in the general settings dialog). Additional information may be also present in the list like reliability of the server, etc. CONNECTION PROCESS: The private server contacts the central server and registers through some protocol mechanism. If a client requests the server list from the central server, the central server sends the IP address of the client to each registered private servers so that they can immediately send a "firewall opening" UDP packet to this IP address. If the client now sends ping messages to each of the private servers in the list, the firewalls and routers are prepared for receiving UDP packets from this IP address and will tunnel it through. Note: this mechanism will not work in a private network. ****************************************************************************** * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under * the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software * Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later * version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT * ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS * FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
