xtcprelay

xtcprelay is a framework which can take anything, literally, as a relayer of a tcp connection.

lets take mail based floppy data transmission as an example:

Normal TCP Connection

This will be useful to bridge two networks with anything.

Supported Drivers

Azure Storage Queue

talk over azure storage queue

Usage

Bridge a tcp server listens on :9000 as an example

• Server Side

./xtcprelay -d azqueue --azqueue-account <YOUR ACC> --azqueue-key <YOUR KEY> serverside --azqueue-relayer-address test --azqueue-server-address 127.0.0.1:9000

• Client Side

./xtcprelay -d azqueue --azqueue-account <YOUR ACC> --azqueue-key <YOUR KEY> clientside --azqueue-relayer-address test --azqueue-listen-address 0.0.0.0:9001

Now on client side machine you will have a 9001 identical to remote 9000. All traffic are relayed by your storage queue
