Websocket forwarding?
I have an old (really old, RBR10) mesh router, and I'm trying to use an app which prefers to use websockets. Does port forwarding allow this? If so, how do I configure it?
Basically, it's desktop as a service on a shoestring. (We're a little non-profit, and this is a little project; my budget is limited.) So I've got a Windows system with two different ways to establish a VNC connection through a browser, but one of them requires websockets and the other prefers them. So, any thoughts?

The easiest would be to just use Google remote desktop, which requires no development at all.
Anyway, I'd think the reverse proxy you have in the design would work, you could just put it in the router DMZ.
Other approaches you could look into are using TailScale or maybe a CloudFlare tunnel.
That's a good idea, and not one I'd considered. There are other remote desktop solutions that might also work. Thanks!
