Q: How does Http server distinguish between the request received from computers behind one router?

HttpServer operates on port 80. It receives and send only at port 80.
Computers behind the routers have local ip address which only works in local area network. This happens because it allow more computer to connect to internet. Allowing 1 public ip address which is usually given by ISP to be used by many. The way NAT routers distinguish between incoming data that which computer it belongs to behind it is by assigining a port to local ip address and saving this information. So if it sends something at ip 130.222.222.222 it puts port with it.
But the conflict is here:
Http Server listens to port 80.
Yet Routers must use random ports to distinguish among computers connected to it.
So what am i missing.

Q: I have Site(s) Ani….i=1,..10 sites which communicate with site B to access a website/application. That’s simple enough.

However, the traffic is http well we primarily don’t need https on ipsec tunnel right?. But since attacks related to eavesdropping of traffic come a real reality once it gets terminated by the ipsec device on both sides.

I have two options either to purchase a third-party ssl certificate to encrypt the traffic between two nodes or use a custom made one.

I don’t want to use a custom made one because this make the browser prompt an ugly untrusted certificate message; its ugly not from security perspective but for clients inconvenience and assuring users confidence in our systems is a critical issue for us.

Based upon above discussion i have the following two queries:-

a) How its possible to remove ugly certifcate message from user screen? Does the company need to register its certificate to some kind of CA body? or what …

b) Due to some tcp acceleration issues, ssl traffic slows down the traffic between the nodes so we only require the encryption to stand just during the initial handshake when the username and password are being validated ; after that we

want to revert back to http? Could this be achieved? If yes how…?

Thanks for your help.

Q: I am considering making a website, that would have most traffic based around its forum.

I would start “small”, so I would want a free forum. I need one that is reasonably professional, “admin-friendly” and very customizable. What would you recommend? I would probably want there to be an option to upgrade my forum (i.e. end up paying for it)…

And, what hosts should I be looking at?

Q: I have a small limit on the storage space on my website. I embedded a widget that plays music I make. I can upload up to a lot of music (10 GB) into the widget, which is basically an infinite amount of storage for me. Will the music in my widget eat up the storage space on my website, or will it take up virtually 0 space.
