Serve multiple client request from server using bridge

Question

My client basically make RDP kind of connection to server (see VNC server)

So, there are multiple client making connection to the server. To lower bandwidth, I want a bridge between server and clients. Basically this bridge will connect to server at a port and serve multiple client request.

I hope made my problem clear. Can anyone suggest what todo?
I want one connection from bridge to server and bridge should serve multiple client connection

Answer 1

For VNC there is a VNC reflector (bridge). You might be able to extend that to support RDP. I don't know of an existing RDP solution that is equivalent.

Answer 2

You can use ssh port forwarding to encrypt and compress traffic between your server and clients. For example, if you server runs on host server port 1234 and and bridge runs on host bridge, you set the tunnel up from host bridge like this:

[user@bridge ~]$ ssh -C -N -n -L *:1234:server:1234 server

So that when a client connects to bridge:1234 the connection is forwarded to server:1234 encrypting and compressing the traffic.
