Our network setup in a way that ecery client needs to be in the Firewall ACL to be allowed to talk to hobbit server on port 1984. Now if I use a bbproxy which IP the hobbit server sees? The hobbit clients' IPs or just the bbproxy server's IP?
The hobbit server will see all connections as coming from the bbproxy server's IP.
clients --> bbproxy server --> hobbit server
An accurate depiction of the connections.
As a side note, even though the Hobbit server sees connections as coming from the bbproxy server, the data sent by the proxy server includes the original IP of the client which originated the message. So even though data is passing through the proxy, status messages will still show the real IP in the "Status message received from ..." line.
