Hi team,

We encounter a case where the console process is reaching a remote sequencer through a proxy host. The proxy host is presenting a name to the console process. How can we specify the real “client-host” and “client-port” of the remote sequencer in order to get through the proxy host?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @kctam ,  
I’m not sure I understand what you would like to achieve.  
In the config, you can specify both a port and an address. Would it be sufficient? How does the real “client-host” look like?

Best,

Rafael
