To encrypt the network traffic, the following alternatives are available:
Use HTTPS to secure the communication. For this you will need a Reverse Proxy on the server side that will perform the SSL encryption between ARCHICAD and the Reverse Proxy
Use VPN, which will encrypt the communication
Seems odd that in 2016 this isn't built-in to the product, these days SSL encryption is the norm in almost all network services using the internet and BIMcloud is marketed as a product for the public internet. Will this be built-in in the future? As I understand, communication between BIMcloud servers is at least signed if not encrypted.
Will ArchiCAD work out-of-the-box with a reverse proxy or is additional configuration required on the client side? If I just use something like https://bim.server.address:19000 as the server address, will ArchiCAD know how to handle the connection? And if ArchiCAD can handle it, why isn't it built-in to BIMcloud/BIM Server?
