DESCRIPTION

The simpleproxy program acts as a simple tcp proxy. It opens listening socket on local machine and forwards any connection to the remote host.

OPTIONS

simpleproxy accepts following options:

−V

Version information.

−v

Makes simpleproxy to write activity information to syslog or stderr.

−7

Makes simpleproxy to strip 8th bit.

−i

Use this flag when starting simpleproxy from INETD.

−d

By default simpleproxy does not detach itself from control terminal and writes all messages to stderr. This option will detach it from terminal and make it write messages to syslog.

−L [<local host>:]<local port>

Local host and port name or number to bind for listening. Host name is optional.

−R <remote host>:<remote port>

Remote host and port name or number

−P <POP3 users list>

HTTPS proxy server host and port name or number.

−a <HTTPS Auth User>:<HTTPS Auth Password>

It is used for logging or for remote lecturing, if the output is redirected to a remote command that change a dynamic web page, it is possible to synchronize all the learner web browsers to the same page visited by the instructor. (see the "simple remote lecturing" project on sourceforge).
