diff --git a/net/socks5/pkg/DESCR b/net/socks5/pkg/DESCR new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..95ae5da6e71 --- /dev/null +++ b/net/socks5/pkg/DESCR @@ -0,0 +1,20 @@ +This is NWSL (previously CSTC) version 5.0 of SOCKS, a package that allows Unix +hosts behind a firewall to gain full access to the internet without requiring +direct IP reachability. It does require a SOCKS server program being run on a +host that can communicate directly to hosts behind the firewall as well as hosts +on the Internet at large. It is based on the original SOCKS written by David +Koblas <koblas@netcom.com> and the work of the AFT working group of the IETF. + +NOTE: The shared library features in socks5 require a dynamic linker that + understands the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. FreeBSD + 2.1.5-RELEASE supports this; so do versions of -current and + -stable later than May 2, 1996. All other features will work + with FreeBSD 2.0 and later. + +WARNING: Export of SOCKS from the US without a proper license is a violation + of ITAR rules. + +WARNING: Commercial use and distribution of this software requires a license + from NEC corporation. + +See the README files for more information. |
