Server inverse mode for repeater cnxn without autoreconnect

[darveesh]

The current repeater connection support in WinVNC command line options (use of ID) is tied to the autoreconnect option. These two concepts just need to be separated. Autoreconnecting does not make sense when using a repeater as it'll always keep WinVNC connected to the repeater until the next PC reboot.

Oddly enough, via the GUI you can just add a client and it's just fine. It's the command line that's missing the same capability.

Worked with Rudi to get this added in. It's now available as part of the July 10 update... [topic=13125][/topic]

I'm desperatly trying to figure out how i can get an UltraVNC server service to automatically reconnect to a repeater, such as in [topic=13442][/topic]

Manually adding a client in NOT what I'm after. I need to be able to control remote machines without any user interaction. This means that UltraVNC needs to start as a service AND initiate an auto reverse connection to a repeater. In addition, it need to be able to re-establish the connection to the repeater after the viewer has disconnected as the repeater will automatically remove the server after the view has left.

I'm not even sure if this is possible, but from your comments it appears as if you would like this feature REMOVED, which implies that this feature exists. If so, how can I get it to work?

If not, then it will be a useful feature to add, as I need to remove control a lot of machine behind many different firewalls without user being present.

I think you want to try this
Manual you do this
-autoreconnect ID:12345678 -connect host

[admin]
service_commandline=-autoreconnect ID:12345678 -connect host

Every command line you have in manual mode, can be added to run as service.

Only problem is that a reverse connection doesn't ask a password.
You need to control the repeater to be able to use it save.

Thanks for this, I will give it a go. I take it that host ID's have to numeric? It might be nice if the could include

The repeater will run on a virtual machine under our control. I will use the IP address and ID Host filters, so I hope that security can be maintained. We will also encrypt the data streams using the Plug-in

However, now that you mention it, it would be a really good feature to add the ability to use a password for connection that go through a repeater.

It would also be nice if the repeater coul write a log or simple HTML file indicating what Hosts are connected.
