[Bug 413] New: Port forwarding: [localhost:]localport:remotehost:remoteport

[Courtin Bert]

Hi Dan,

first of all thank you for picking up this thread :-)

Secondly, I would've probably helped getting this working/integrated in the current code, but unfortunately I do speak some programming languages but "C/C++".

So, I greatly would appreciate if someone has the time & ability to implement a feature as described. As one can think of, it would be - from my point of view - last but not least an contribution regarding security when using port forwarding.


Kind regards,

B. Courtin
