This program is used with pf(4) to intercept things like http requests and
|
|
|
|
|
divert them to a www proxy server (eg: squid), without requiring user
|
|
|
|
|
intervention or configuration.

It accepts connections on the redirected port, connects to the real proxy
|
|
|
|
|
server and transports data between the two sockets.

|
Unlike some other transparent proxy solutions, this does not require the
|

|
|
|
proxy to run on the machine itself.

In most cases, it is preferable to use PF "route-to" rules rather than
|
|
|
|
|
transproxy; relayd(8) can health-check the proxy and add these rules
|
|
|
|
|
dynamically if required. The transproxy package is kept for special
|
|
|
|
|
cases and to simplify upgrades.
