Forwarding service requests from outbound proxy servers to remote servers inside of firewalls

A computing system comprising:

• an Outbound Proxy Server (OPS) hosted in a server internal to the firewall, wherein the firewall is to enable entities internal to the firewall to originate connections across the firewall to entities external to the firewall and to block connections originating from entities external to the firewall;
• and
• wherein, the OPS is to create an outbound connection across the firewall between the OPS and a Reverse Channel Proxy (RCP) server external to the firewall, to receive an inbound service request for a particular service from the RCP server through the outbound connection, to create a connection for sending data to a corresponding remote server internal to the firewall storing the particular service;
• and to forward the inbound service request to the particular service through the created connection.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor of an Outbound Proxy Server (OPS) of a server internal to a firewall to:

• to create an outbound connection across the firewall to a Reverse Channel Proxy (RCP) server external to the firewall, wherein the firewall is to enable entities internal to the firewall to originate connections across the firewall to entities external to the firewall but to block connections originating from entities external to the firewall;
• and
• receive an inbound service request for a particular service internal to the firewall from the RCP server;
• create a connection for sending data to a corresponding remote server internal to the firewall storing the particular service;
• and
• forward the inbound service request to the particular service through the created connection, the particular service being registered in a request broker in the corresponding remote server.
