WAPT Server in WAN

[Pyrith]

Hello,

I'm currently testing your WAPT solution, which is proving to be very promising!

I have three questions:

1) Is it possible to modify the ports used by the WAPT server?

2) Is it possible to use the WAPT server over the internet?
I tried installing a client using the server's public IP address, NATing the ports used on both sides, but it doesn't seem to work.
If it did work, I envision an excellent way to host the WAPT server in the cloud (Azure, for example) and use it to remotely maintain SME networks.

3) I write articles on technologies/products for a high-traffic website aimed at IT professionals (admins, techs, IT decision-makers).
Would it be possible to contact you to obtain information, etc., to promote your product?

Looking forward to your reply!

Hello,
1) Can the ports used by the WAPT server be modified?
Yes, these settings must be changed on the Apache server.

2) Is it possible to use the WAPT server over the internet?
I tried installing a client using the server's public IP address, NATing the ports used on both sides, but it doesn't seem to work.
If it did work, I would see it as an excellent way to host the WAPT server in the cloud (Azure, for example) and use it to maintain remote SME networks.

WAPT agents only need web access to the server. They will automatically retrieve the updates they need to perform. However, if you don't have direct access to the machine (via a VPN, for example), you won't be able to push updates from the console.
