Question

try to proxy remote destop(3389) by nodejs socket pipe, but fail

I'm trying to proxy remote destop(3389) to port 8889.

var net = require('net');
var client_port = 8889;
var host = '127.0.0.1';
host = '192.168.7.69'; 

var client = net.createServer(function(c) {
    var loc = net.connect(3389, host, function() {
      console.log('connet to 3389 success.');
      loc.pipe(c);
      c.pipe(loc);
    });
}).listen(client_port, host, function(c) {
  console.log('proxy opened, visit: %j',client.address());
});

then use win7's remote destop, visit myself, it fail.

update:

the remotedestop connect show "connet to 127.0.0.1:8889" for a long time, and timeout.

Answer 1

You are overwriting the host variable, first assigns '127.0.0.1' and in the line below you assing '192.168.7.69', maybe this is the problem

var host = '127.0.0.1',
    host2 = '192.168.7.69'

Answer 2

solved, change the order.

var net = require('net');
var client_port = 8889;
var host = '127.0.0.1';
host = '192.168.7.69'; 

var client;
var loc = net.connect(3389, host, function() {
  console.log('connet to 3389 success.');
  client = net.createServer(function(c) {
    loc.pipe(c);
    c.pipe(loc);
  }).listen(client_port, host, function(c) {
    console.log('proxy opened, visit: %j',client.address());
  });
});
