Prtunnel software can tunnel TCP/IP connections in different manners, helping with network connectivity.
- Tunneling TCP connections from client programs to a remote server through an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy when the program doesn't support proxy use natively.
- Tunneling TCP connections from SOCKS-enabled client programs through an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy.
- Tunneling TCP connections from an IPv4 client program to an IPv6 server and vice versa.
- Forwarding TCP connections.
- Running as a simple SOCKS proxy server.
This project was specifically designed and tested for Linux and BSD-based operating systems. The latest release brings a couple of important improvements over the previous version.
One bug that could cause issues on some systems has been fixed. The program will no longer call malloc(0) in some situations, and this issue has been rectified. Additionally, the server timeout has been modified in the new version. If set, the timeout will now be established before the proxy server connects to the remote server, which will prevent the program from hanging in case the proxy doesn't respond to the client.
Overall, if you need a tool that can tunnel TCP/IP connections in several different ways, Prtunnel should be an excellent choice. It's simple to use, efficient, and highly effective.
