(maybe with an extra kmod) The developers told me that they aren't familiar with FreeBSD but would port their software to it if the OS had support for that t-proxy. The question is: Is there any plan to support that thing (maybe through ipfw, pf or ipfilter - no idea) or is that too sick? thanks alot. -- --rutz
