Connection through Proxy

Post by andreventu »

Hi all,

I have an online database on Internet. My client application, in Delphi, is behind a proxy. The zeoslib doesn't have proxy configuration and doesn't connect to database because the proxy.

How can I connect to database? Is there a third-party program/component which allow this connectiion?

Thanks a lot

André

Hello andreventu,

as far as I know there is no possibility to solve this because the connection to the database is always done by the database client libraries. It seems like you have three options:
- use some third party application that allows database connections through proxies for your special DBMS
- Create a webservice to expose the data to the internet und get the data from there into your application
- use a VPN to allow the direct connection to the database
- use something like SSLTunnel for allowing something like that

Why do you want to use a proxy for the connection? Which things do you have to take into account?

Best regards,

Jan
