Like the product, any chance of making the generic server listen on multiple ports, say if I want to make the program listen on all ports between 1000-5000. This way I could sit it on on side of our firewall and then run a port scanner to see what ports are currently open through it.
I have been looking around for a program that does this for a long time and cannot seem to find one.

Thanks for your support and interest. I'm looking into your request. The thing is, I can't just listen on multiple ports, I need to individually bind each port to its own socket first. This is a bit beyond my current architecture but not out of reach. I also run into the problem that any individual bind might fail. For instance, you select ports 1000-5000 but you're running a MySql server on the machine, the bind on port 3306 will fail because it is already in use. I'm currently working on my next major release which will allow bridging between an existing client and server. Once down, I'll look more into you're request, no promises though. Hmm... I could create a 'Tools' menu...

Hi Chris. If you are thinking about adding anything else to this product, It would be awesome if it could run the listening config as a service, thus still functioning if a person logs off :)
I know I am asking a lot.
Cheers.

Sorry, I don't think I can help you out with this one. To run without a user would mean I would have to run privileged in Unix / Linux operating systems and I don't want to require this. I also use the user to safely know where I can create configuration and temporary files. My application should run with a locked screen as long as a user is still logged on. Does this help?

Good news. Your request is in the 1.4.0 release. Check the help files or wiki for instructions / restrictions.
P.S. your anti-virus might find my listening on that many ports as a threat.
Chris. Fantastic job. Fast to load and the only product I am aware out there that can do it.

Hi Grant
Glad it worked out for you. I think I'm going to add a basic port scanner to go along with the multiple servers.
