[Desproxy-users] Helo everybody!

[Miguelanxo O. <mig...@ho...>]

Wellcome to the desproxy-users mailing list.

Well, I don't spect traffic right now, but, hey I must start using the 
list...

So, as desproxy user #1, here is my view of the program.

Desproxy is horrible. Desproxy is not very dinamical, its very specialized 
and somewhat hard to use...

Well, the desproxy "suite" is growing, even now (when as you may read in the 
news section) when the development is suspended until the end of September 
2001, It keeps improving. The next "release" of desproxy is spected to be 
composed of:

desproxy -> maybe 0.0.10 version untouched.

desproxy-inetd -> the same.

desproxy-socks5server -> Socks 5 Server for "dinamic HTTP deproxing"

desproxy-DNSserver -> DNS server trought HTTP proxy.

With this last 2 utils, You will be able to use desproxy as if it was a 
simple socks 5 server, so forget about the HTTP proxy limitations.

I also want to include a DNS server for those stupid applications that want 
to pass the IP address when they might pass the URL to the proxy (like 
netscape or everybuddy).

FUTURE PLANS
------------

The "ultimate target" for desproxy is to become an hybrid of NAT & HTTP 
deproxing, so you can forget even of using the socks 5 server. I know some 
protocols can't be deproxyzed without a client-server aproach. But I dont 
own a single server in Internet to pass the packets to. So no ICMP (ping) 
and no UDP. Just plain TCP.

Maybe you can't ping www.microsoft.com or www.linux.com, but you will be 
able (sure) to ssh or telnet directly.
