Any connections to that port +will then be forwarded to the specified remote host and remote port. This +program can be useful for allowing your Distributed.net clients +communicate to the outside world by running it on a gateway machine that +has access to both the inside firewall and the outside realworld. + +Additionally, if you live behind a SOCKS firewall, you can compile this +code with SOCKS support for your system and use it to act as a +"SOCKS translator" for your Distributed.net clients. In this case, +datapipe doesn't even need to be run on a gateway machine. |
