|
|
|
* Handles all TCP-connections
|

## Problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because no real proxy is involved and all TCP-ports can be used, there is a bigger risk of an application revealing the clients IP-address in the data. However this is not a serious problem when used in an accesspoint because the address of the accesspoint will not be revealed and the client will have a temporary DHCP-address.
