To be able to establish the connection between client and server node, you can have several topologies.

You’ll find the basic one below:

In this architecture we have 2 separate networks (LAN A and LAN B). Both networks are linked to internet using a router.

• In LAN A several many computers are connected and one of them is hosting PcVue + Webvue server (IP: 192.168.0.3 in this example)
• In LAN B a computer (IP: 192.168.0.4 in this example) is trying to open a WebVue client connection.

To do that, you have to check the NAT (Network Address Translation) configuration in router A. This configuration allows you to transfer requests received from the Internet to a specific computer.

A typical configuration could be: 10.0.0.1:80 ->  192.168.0.3:80

This kind of configuration transmits requests received from Internet on the port 80 to the PcVue + Webvue server on the port 80 too. Once you have made this router configuration, the client in the LAN B can establish a WebVue client connection by using the ROUTER A public IP address in the URL. So, if your project is called WEB, you will choose the following URL: “http://10.0.0.1/WEB” from a computer located in the LAN B.

Of course, you can define more complicated architectures (by adding fire wall, VPN,…) based on this topology.
