Section III Step 4: Testing the Proxy Rule

With the Proxy Rule defined in the previous step, next time when Client A (or JOHN-PC) tries to reach Resource R at 10.2.3.4 the request will be routed through the Proxy Agent running on Client B (or AMY-PC). Let's verify this is the case.

To begin with our test, lets first prepare the test environment:

  1. From the server computer, restart K-Secure VPN™ Server.
  2. From Client B (or AMY-PC), launch K-Secure VPN™ Client and start the VPN Client service. It is important to make sure the Proxy Agent connects to the server first - all Proxy Rules are ignored if the corresponding Proxy Agents are not present in the system.
  3. From Client A (or JOHN-PC), launch K-Secure VPN™ Client and start the VPN Client service;

Now that K-Secure VPN™ Server is running with 2 clients connected to it, we shall be able to access Resource R at 10.2.3.4 from Client A (or JOHN-PC). Now go to Client A (or JOHN-PC) and follow these steps:

  1. Open K-Secure VPN™ Client, click Connections on the left side so you see all the network connections in real time as shown in the following screenshot.
  2. Open up a Windows Explorer window, position it in such a way that you can see both the explorer window and also K-Secure VPN™ Client on your desktop;
  3. From the Explorer window, type \\10.2.3.4 in the address box, as shown below.
  4. You shall see the network resources shared by 10.2.3.4 similar to the screenshot below.
  5. Take a look at the connections in K-Secure VPN™ Client, you shall see the new connection fired by Windows Explorer as shown below.

Such proxy connections can also be observed on the server computer. In K-Secure VPN™ Server, click Connections on the left side you shall be able to see the connection routed through Client B (or AMY-PC) as shown below.

As you can see from the above screenshot, the connection request originated from Client A (virtual IP 192.168.1.2) is correctly routed to Resource R at 10.2.3.4. Underlying this connection, it is the Proxy Agent running on Client B (or AMY-PC) that does most of the work.
