tcpgate 0.0.2

I wrote this to be able to access a news server that would not allow me to connect from my machine, but would from another that I had access to. tcpgate is a daemon that listens on a port for connections, and when the connection is made, proxies/bounces it to the host/port pair specified in the config file unmodified. Very simple, but very useful when you need to get around a bad route/firewall. Latest version has IP-based access control option. Installation: install libtcp++ gunzip -c tcpgate-0.0.1.tar.gz | tar xvf - make tcpgate Usage: ./tcpgate config_file example of config_file to_port 119 to_host news.mydomain.com port 1234 log_file tcpgate.log ip_rules_file site.rules to_port - port to which the packets are proxied, to_host - the host to which the packets are proxied, port - port that tcpgate listens on log_file - file where tcpgate writes the log :) ip_rules_file - if present, enables IP-based access control, and must contain a set of allow rules. Any host not matched by those rules will be denied connection. Example of ip_rules_file: 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 128.187.0.0/255.255.0.0 The above example will allow localhost to connect, as well as any machine coming from 128.187.0.0 subnet Whats New in This Release: - added ip-based access control.
