Hi,
If anyone has any ideas to lend I’d be extremely grateful! I’ve not a whole lot of knowledge with regards to Deadline and have very little time to try and set up an external location where a VPN is not a possible solution.
We have Deadline 8 Repository set up on a Windows Server 2008 machine, running Thinkbox licensing and the Repository Database which is connecting to a shared RAID drive on a separate fileserver for the actual repository directory. We have about 15 local machines running with another 30 over a VPN connection and now trying to set up another 30 via a proxy. The Deadline repository version is 8.0.0.69 but all clients are now 8.0.6.5 or 8.0.8.1 (after getting the strange null reference proxy errors).
I’ve followed the guide from Thinkbox (deadline.thinkboxsoftware.com/fe … xy-panacea) as well as all the configuration documents but running into the error - “Proxy Server Error: The underlying connection was closed. An unexpected error occurred on a receive.” All Ports appear to be open correctly and working from the outside.
From the Deadline Monitor on the client side errors are showing in the console repeating:

Thanks everyone!
