I am trying to reach a remote mysql database from a vps using python. The
destination server has created an opening in the firewall for the request,
but I am still getting network unreachable errors. I gave the ip of the
proxy for the vps, obtained with ping, as the expected ip. I now tried
accessing a web site I control from the same vps also in python using
requests.get, and in the web server log I see the request coming from what
looks to be a gateway (xxx.xxx.xxx.1, rather than the proxy
xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn) Is this to be expected and can I rely on the address for
such requests?
Thanks,
Tim
