Abstract
Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that utilize a reverse tunnel proxy in a cloud environment. The reverse tunnel proxy in a cloud environment automatically discovers its environment and creates an appropriate tunnel without using a public IP. The reverse tunnel proxy in a cloud environment utilizes an outgoing connection along with an initialization and channelization to connect to the cloud and accepts an incoming connection in response. In embodiments, a cloud initiates a connection and a tunnel is created without need for additional IP addresses. In embodiments, the reverse tunnel proxy in a cloud environment connects to a client as a server and a private key is stored at a server side without pushing private keys into a public environment.
