It takes the address of your +proxy or proxies (host1..N and port1..N) and opens a listening socket, +forwarding each request to the parent proxy (moving in a circular list if the +active parent stops working). Along the way, a connection to the parent is +created anew and authenticated or, if available, previously cached connection +is reused to achieve higher efficiency and faster responses. When the chain is +set up, cntlm should be used as a proxy in your applications. Cntlm also +integrates transparent TCP/IP port forwarding (tunneling) through the parent +(incl. authentication). |
