On-Premise Server Prerequisites for enabling Zwing <> Ginesys Integrations

The intent of this document is to give a prerequisite for server configurations on the client side for enabling public API access over the internet.

Steps to enable public access to On-Premise Server using domain name

1. Assign a static, public IP address to your server

Your server will require a static, public IP address that can be used to access it from the internet. This can be done through your router, or through your internet service provider (ISP).

2. Forward incoming traffic to your server

You will need to configure your router to forward incoming traffic on specific ports to your server. For example, if you want to allow public access to a web server running on your server, you would need to forward incoming traffic on port 80 (HTTP) or port 443 (HTTPS) to your server.

3. Configure your firewall

If your server has a firewall, you will need to configure it to allow incoming traffic on the ports that you want to make publicly accessible. You need to whitelist all incoming request from domain and all subdomains of gozwing.com.

4. Configure your server software

You will need to configure your server software (e.g. web server, database server, etc.) to listen to the publicly accessible IP address and port(s) that you have configured.

5. Register a domain name

To use a domain name to access your server, you will need to register a domain with a domain name registrar.

6. Configure DNS records

You will need to configure DNS records for your domain to point to your server's public IP address. This can be done through your domain name registrar's control panel, or through a DNS hosting provider.

Exposing your server to the public internet can introduce security risks, so it is important to secure your server and keep it up-to-date with the latest security patches. You should also consider using a virtual private network (VPN) or other secure remote access methods to access your server remotely, rather than exposing it directly to the internet.
