Closed MohamedElnagar94 closed 1 year ago

MohamedElnagar94 commented 1 year ago

It is possible to connect with fingerprint device using VPN or something else? I have fingerprint device and i want to connect with it from anywhere

kurenai-ryu commented 1 year ago

yes

MohamedElnagar94 commented 1 year ago

how can i do that?

kurenai-ryu commented 1 year ago

that goes beyond the scope of this library

MohamedElnagar94 commented 1 year ago

you mean it is available in this library or not

MohamedElnagar94 commented 1 year ago 
vpnIp = "my_vpn_ip"
portOfFingerprintDevice = 4370
zk = ZK(vpnIp, port=portOfFingerprintDevice , timeout=10,password=0, force_udp=false, ommit_ping=false)
conn = zk .connect()

It will be like that or what !

oh! no, no, this library can't do that. I worked with devops to connect zk devices over a vpn, and my host could access them without any problem. but that was infrastructure magic.

so it is impossible to connect with fingerprint device using VPN in this library for this time

vpnIp = "my_vpn_ip"
portOfFingerprintDevice = 4370
zk = ZK(vpnIp, port=portOfFingerprintDevice , timeout=10,password=0, force_udp=false, ommit_ping=false)
conn = zk .connect()

It will be like that or what !

regarding the connection, it will work seamlessly with a vpn ip, that is exactly how I worked over a vpn. but this library can't start a vpn tunnel by itself, that goes beyond the scope of the library
