using a url instead of 127.1.1.1:1975
#1
I have a IW15 app that I've used for years and it runs as a service.  My current regular webpage has a button that fowards to the apps address.  All that is fine.  When it starts the url in the browser is http\ourip:port  if I do it internally i would type in:  http:\127.1.1.1:1975.  Is there a way to mask the address to something that looks like a regular url.

Is there a way I can mask the ip:port with something that looks like a real.  myapp.com

I've have tried to find a way to do this but I'm not an internet person.  I'm lost and I know there must be someway of doing it.


Thank You,

Ed Brazell

Is it just the IP you want to "hide" or is it the port as well?

What I really want gone is the port.  I can mask the ip address

There is no easy way to mask the port, especially without side effects. If you cannot use port 80, you can set up a tunnel but the tunnel will need port 80 on some IP.

Is there a reason you cannot use port 80?

If you only want to hide it from the initial link, you can use any number of methods to perform a redirect but the port will appear after redirect.

Of course, you could just switch it run under IIS using either port 80 or 443.   Then it will not "look" like it has a port.

SA can also run on 80. But if IIS is also needed then you need to free up at least one IP for the SA to use.

HTTP.sys also works very well.

Thank you. I understand now. So we are going to switch over to https on 443 on a new inbound ip.
