Questions about NT <-> IB

[fel17]

Hi,

is this possible to get payd data feed not thru API in TWS but directly from IB servers? Or other data suppliers like EUREX or GLOBEx?
If this is possible, is there a good guide for such connect? Which ports have to be opened for this?

Another question: If I connect from NT to TWS, I have to confirm this incoming connection. Is there in TWS an option which suppresses this confirmation?

The reason for my questions is: my TWS runs on my home pc, NT in the office. I have a vpn connection for data feeding from TWS to NT. I can't nod such confirming dialogs, I have to open one remote screen access session for this. It would be still better if I could connect directly to IB servers...

Hi,

1) Unfortunately this is not possible.

2) You need to contact IB for this. I'm not sure if there's an option for this.

Hi Vincent,

2) in the API-options of TWS there is a list of "Trusted IPs". An API connection from one of these IP does not lead to a confirmation dialog. I've tested this from localhost - it works. Tomorrow I will test it from non-127.0.0.1, from a VPNaddress. I think it should work.
