a secure tunnel for encrypted communication.

We discourage running any software on your CAS server (except for CAS itself). This warning includes the Geth Node Server. The simple solution is to use port forwarding to enable CAS access to your separate Geth Node Server. Two options are explained:

Option 1: (recommended) use the GB Wallet Tunnel:

General Bytes includes an integrated Your CAS server and this node must have a secure line. Your passphrase and other sensitive information will be passed back & forth. Encrypt (and protect) this communication by using a secure SSH tunnel.

The GB Wallet Tunnel is recommended.

General Bytes has incorporated an open-source SSH client in CAS. The client is designed to work in tandem with the GB Wallet Tunnel Serverinto CAS.

You may elect to use the native SSH tunnel for secure RPC communication with this Node:

The general usage would be:

ssh -f -N -i /home/gb/.ssh/cas-geth-node -L 8545:127.0.0.1:8545 gb@35.237.163.176

In the above example (run from your CAS server CLI), the options explained:

• "ssh -f -N" is the "create a permanent tunnel in the background" command.

• "-i /home/gb/.ssh/cas-geth-node" specifies the SSH private key file to be used.

• "-L 8545:127.0.0.1:8545" are the Geth's default RPC ports being forwarded.

• "gb@35.237.163.176" is the SSH user (and IP) of the Node.

This presumes that your private key file is stored at /home/gb/.ssh/ as: cas-geth-node

• We do absolutely encourage password-less logins (use a private key).

• If the CAS system permits multiple users, you should password-protect the private key.
