NAME

       simpleproxy - Simple tcp socket proxy

SYNOPSIS

       simpleproxy  [-7]  [-v]  [-V] [-d] [-i] -P <POP3 users file> -L [<local
       host>:]<local  port>  -R  <remote   host>:<remote   port>   -S   <proxy
       host>:<proxy port>

DESCRIPTION

       The  simpleproxy program acts as a simple tcp proxy. It opens listening
       socket on local machine and forwards any connection to the remote host.

OPTIONS

       simpleproxy accepts following options:

       -V      Version information.

       -v      Makes  simpleproxy  to  write activity information to syslog or
               stderr.

       -7      Makes simpleproxy to strip 8th bit.

       -i      Use this flag when starting simpleproxy from INETD.

       -d      By default simpleproxy does  not  detach  itself  from  control
               terminal  and  writes  all messages to stderr. This option will
               detach it from terminal and make it write messages to   syslog.

       -L [<local host>:]<local port>
               Local  host and port name or number to bind for listening. Host
               name is optional.

       -R <remote host>:<remote port>
               Remote host and port name or number

       -P <POP3 users list>
               If specified, simpleproxy will load  list  of  users  from  the
               <filename>  (one  per  line).  After this it will be forwarding
               POP3 sessions only if client trying to  authenificate  as  this
               user.

       -S <proxy host>:<proxy port>
               HTTPS proxy server host and port name or number.

       -a <HTTP Auth User>:<HTTP Auth Password>
               Authenticate  to  the  HTTPS proxy server with the given userid
               and password.  This option performs BASIC  HTTP  authentication
               as specified in RFC 2617.  Used only in conjunction with -S.

       -t <trace file>
               If  specified,  simpleproxy  will  dump  all  data  that passes
               through connection to the specified file.

BUGS

       Only tcp ports are supported.
