I was wondering if I could use this project as the base for a Docker container I am creating.
It would be nice if you could add a license to your repository, so people know if they can use your code for open source projects.

It's not a issue, i just want to know if this proxy can be used to connect peers ins a P2P game

Hi,
I've tried to compile the source, the result is:

# make
g++ -I .  -Wall -Werror -O3 -c -o ServerArgsBase.o ServerArgsBase.cpp
g++ -I .  -Wall -Werror -O3 -c -o xthread.o xthread.cpp
g++ -I .  -Wall -Werror -O3 -c -o shared_data.o shared_data.cpp
In file included from udp_proxy.h:3:0,
                 from shared_data.h:5,
                 from shared_data.cpp:1:
buffer.h: In member function ‘global::Buffer::operator bool() const’:
buffer.h:89:11: error: cannot convert ‘const boost::shared_array<unsigned char>’ to ‘bool’ in return
    return buf;
           ^~~
Makefile:44: recipe for target 'shared_data.o' failed
make: *** [shared_data.o] Error 1

What would be the problem?

Thanks,

a.

Any thoughts on making this able to proxy TCP to UDP? Trying to get packets off the wire that are TCP and covert them to UDP and forward them to a destination host, on the same port. It would be amazing if you could help.

I've been trying to compile TCP-UDP-Proxy for Windows, ultimately Windows 10, but at the moment I'm trying to compile on my Windows 7 VM. I am using Visual Studio Pro 2019. After trying the latest version (1.75.0) of the Boost Library with some errors due to some deprecated members, I bounced around older versions until finding that Version 1.68.0 reduced my compile errors substantially, and of those 20 or so errors, are caused by some typedef problems in fstream.hpp. (I could be wrong, but the errors all seem to be related to fstream_fix.)

Specifically, I get the following errors to begin with:

'fstream_fix<std::basic_ifstream<char,std::char_traits<char> > >' is not a variable template
'fstream_fix<std::basic_ofstream<char,std::char_traits<char> > >' is not a variable template

This comes from the following lines in the fstream.hpp from boost

typedef basic_ifstream<char> ifstream;  
typedef basic_ofstream<char> ofstream;

Where ifstream and ofstream are indicated as being redefined in the project's xfstream.h as

#define ifstream fstream_fix<std::ifstream>
#define ofstream fstream_fix<std::ofstream>

With the definition of fstream_fix in xfstream.h as

template<class T>
struct fstream_fix
	: public T
{
	fstream_fix(){};

	template<class T1>
	fstream_fix(T1 v1){
		setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
		T::open(v1);
		setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
	}

	template<class T1,class T2>
	fstream_fix(T1 v1,T2 v2){
		setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
		T::open(v1,v2);
		setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
	}


	template<class T1>
	void open(T1 v1){
		setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
		T::open(v1);
		setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
	}

	template<class T1,class T2>
	void open(T1 v1,T2 v2){
		setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
		T::open(v1,v2);
		setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
	}
};

So I'm wondering if this is a newer/different compiler issue? Or the application itself? Or maybe just missing something like the ifstream and ofstream in fstream.hpp should be set to the std namespace. Although I tried to declare those identifiers directly, and that did not help.

Hope we can get this cleaned up.

Thanks,
Mack

user defines a subnet over cli argument like --virtualnet=192.168.1.X
client ip 123.12.12.3 connects
proxy assigns virtual ip address from subnet template, resulting in 192.168.1.12 to the datagrams
maybe it should be detected if the ip is in use by another device...
the datagram is forwarded to server
when response is received for 192.168.1.12
the datagram destination is restored to 123.12.12.3
then it is sent back to client

Hello,
I noticed that when I try to make, it runs into multiple deprecated errors and if I try to ignore them it end up saying

g++: error: ./faraway_proxy.o: No such file or directory

And I just wanted to ask if you could update your project since I would love to use it for my purposes.
