NAME

       flashproxy-client - The flash proxy client transport plugin

SYNOPSIS

       flashproxy-client --register [OPTIONS] [LOCAL][:PORT] [REMOTE][:PORT]

DESCRIPTION

       Wait for connections on a local and a remote port. When any pair of connections exists,
       data is ferried between them until one side is closed. By default LOCAL is localhost
       addresses on port 9001 and REMOTE is all addresses on port 9000.

       The local connection acts as a SOCKS4a proxy, but the host and port in the SOCKS request
       are ignored and the local connection is always linked to a remote connection.

       By default, runs as a managed proxy: informs a parent Tor process of support for the
       "flashproxy" or "websocket" pluggable transport. In managed mode, the LOCAL port is chosen
       arbitrarily instead of defaulting to 9001; however this can be overridden by including a
       LOCAL port in the command. This is the way the program should be invoked in a torrc
       ClientTransportPlugin "exec" line. Use the --external option to run as an external proxy
       that does not interact with Tor.

       If any of the --register, --register-addr, or --register-methods options are used, then
       your IP address will be sent to the facilitator so that proxies can connect to you. You
       need to register in some way in order to get any service. The --facilitator option allows
       controlling which facilitator is used; if omitted, it uses a public default.

OPTIONS

       -4
           Registration helpers use IPv4.

       -6
           Registration helpers use IPv6.

       --daemon
           Daemonize (Unix only).

       --external
           Be an external proxy (don’t interact with Tor using environment variables and stdout).

       -f, --facilitator=URL
           Advertise willingness to receive connections to URL.

       --facilitator-pubkey=FILENAME
           Encrypt registrations to the given PEM-formatted public key (default built-in).

       -h, --help
           Display a help message and exit.

       -l, --log=FILENAME
           Write log to FILENAME (default is stdout).

       --pidfile=FILENAME
           Write PID to FILENAME after daemonizing.

       --port-forwarding
           Attempt to forward REMOTE port.

       --port-forwarding-helper=PROGRAM
           Use the given PROGRAM to forward ports (default "tor-fw-helper"). Implies
           --port-forwarding.

       --port-forwarding-external=PORT
           Forward the external PORT to REMOTE on the local host (default same as REMOTE).
           Implies --port-forwarding.

       -r, --register
           Register with the facilitator.

       --register-addr=ADDR
           Register the given address (in case it differs from REMOTE). Implies --register.

       --register-methods=METHOD[,METHOD]
           Register using the given comma-separated list of methods. Implies --register. Possible
           methods are: appspot, email, http. Default is "appspot,email,http".

       --transport=TRANSPORT
           Registrations include the fact that you intend to use the given TRANSPORT (default
