    //secret key for authentication with proxy publisher server
    secretKey: "very_secret_key",
})
//Publish localhost to cloud
const socket  = proxyBackendClient.publish({
    //its your cloud server
    server : "http://ec2-3-120-246-199.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com/", // our cloud server's publicly reachable address
