Overview
DeleGate is a multipurpose proxy server which relays various application
protocols on TCP/IP or UDP/IP, including
HTTP,
FTP,
Telnet,
NNTP,
SMTP,
POP,
IMAP,
LPR,
LDAP,
ICP,
DNS,
SSL,
Socks,
and more.
DeleGate mediates communication between servers and clients where direct
communication is impossible, inefficient, or inconvenient.
DeleGate works as an application level proxy which interprets relayed
protocol (control sequence and data structure) between a client and a server;
various value added services are realized for recognized protocol.
Also DeleGate works as a circuit level proxy which literally conveys
transmission between a client and a server of arbitrary protocols
on TCP or UDP.
DeleGate can be used to enforce access control
restricting remittable protocols,
reachable servers, and acceptable clients.
DeleGate forces delay for penalty on repetition of forbidden access,
or make defense
shutting down service and sending automatic reports to administrator
on suspicion of attack.
A basic logging on circuit level
common to arbitrary protocol
and protocol dependent logging in some common formats
are supported for some protocols.
