gRPC query

[Mohamad Ghaddar]

Hey,

I am looking into using gRPC for the project I am working on. I have one use case that I cannot find a solution for. 

My gRPC C++ server has to run on a machine that only accepts outgoing connections. Hence it has to establish the connection with the client first. Unfortunately it seems gRPC supports one way connection from client to server only. 

Looking more into it, people found solutions around this problem but they only work with gRPC GO. Reference: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/issues/484

I was wondering if there are any suggestions on how to approach this problem with C++

Thank you for your time,

Moodie
