Tinc is a great idea but often we sit behind corporate firewall which also often to only allow traffic to go through HTTP proxy. is there any plan of tinc to implement the proxy support, then it will truely be wonderful. like other through proxy service, one might setup a broker server to establish an initial connection through proxy and then hand over the communication to point-to-point, like services as foldershare, logmein etc. or the node behind proxy server initiate connection to node that is not behind proxy. just an idea.

However, I don't have much time to work on it. So it might take a while for such a feature to be implemented, unless someone sends in a patch. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus@tinc-vpn.org> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
