Hi all,
I'm kind of puzzled. I recently started on a new job. From the employers network I cannot use RDP to connect to a server (Win2k3) at home, so I found a service called LogMeIn which enables me to administer my home server from work if needed. LogMeIn works like a charm, but I don't understand how.
LogMeIn consists of a few processes, one of which listens on TCP port 443. The server only has one IP address. As far as I know, only one process can claim a certain socket at a time. But my server is also running a web service using SSL on the default https port (443). Both LogMeIn and the https webservice function properly, both on ipaddr:443(tcp).
I thought maybe LogMeIn somehow manages to have their service to be the first listener at the socket, relaying IP packets with http headers to the web service. But if I nmap my server (from remote) using service detection on the socket, it shows the type and version of the web server. So this is not the case.
Any Win2k3 / Programming / IP guru's here that can explain the above to me?
