This package implements a Sock5 proxy client/server, as defined in RFC 1928 and RFC 1929.
Access control: define IP address ranges allowed to proxy through the server.
Access control: import list of banned IP address range, in the P2P file format.
A "socksify" application wrapper script, that uses shared library tricks to try to redirect network connections from standalone application through the Socks 5 proxy server.
This proxy library was originally written for the Courier mail server, but it can be used
independently, as a generic proxy client or server library. The
Courier authentication library
must be installed first, even if authentication is not needed,
because the Socks 5 client/server uses some scripts and tools
from that package. Additionally, the Net::CIDR Perl
module is also required.
