Introduction 

Proxy is an IP filtering proxy server for Linux written
by InnerTek Software. It was written to solve the problem
of being able to connect to machines behind a Linux
firewall. There are both threaded and non-threaded versions
of proxy in the download area. Threads were abandoned
in release 2.2.3 while we spent some time figuring out
the thread limitations in the Linux threads library. 

Description 

Proxy is not a caching proxy server, but is more a port
redirector (which can be used for NATing packets behind a
linux firewall). You would set up proxy to listen on a
certain port and forward all traffic that comes in on that
port to some port on a remote machine. The current version
of Proxy only handles TCP, but there are plans to add support
for UDP. We also plan to add a caching engine to proxy at
some point in the future as well. For every client that
connects to proxy on it's listening port, Proxy spawns a
thread to deal with that client.  Proxy can also do IP
filtering, please don't confuse this with packet filtering
for which there is a huge differnce. Proxy can read the
IP address of a client and compare it with rules in a filters
file to determine whether or not to drop the connection. 
Support needs to be added for UDP, caching, transparency,
multiple filter files and a GNU configure and build system.
