To: dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Thu, 30 Apr 1998 07:33:50 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I noticed a mention of the need for a telnet proxy for FreeBSD by a poster in -questions. The fwtk (Firewall Toolkit) at tis.com has all the needed parts for FTP, Telnet and http proxies. I built them all and used them for about six months. I also built socks. The problem is that socks needs to know your current IP address in order to work. Dynamically assigned ppp addresses make it kind of tricky -- you need a script to edit the socks.conf and restart socks after every change.
