[. . . ] If you wish to modify the local ports on which your PC becomes a web or SOCKS proxy, uncheck the service first, then change the port number, and tick the box again. If you would like your PC to accept requests from other PCs on the local network and forward them through your Your Freedom connection, tick the "Relay for others" box. Note that this will only have an effect if your profile permits it (check the "Relaying permitted" line in the "Account Profile" panel as shown above). At the time of writing, only users with a "TotalFreedom" package may relay for others. 2. 5. 1. 1 Local port forwards One possibility to allow an application to connect to a service on the Internet via Your Freedom is to "mirror" a port on the Internet. Just imagine there's a server out there with a certain IP address and it's listening to SSH connections. You would like to SSH to the server but your SSH client does not support SOCKS. In this case you would simply configure a local port forward similar to this one: Your Freedom User Guide Page 32 of 52 Now instead of connecting via SSH to "some. host. somewhere" on port 22, you simply instruct your SSH client to connect to "localhost" on port 2222. Your Freedom will put the connection through for you. Note however that if the remote host is unreachable the SSH client will still see a working connection, but it will time out quickly. This is just one of many examples how you can use this feature. Generally speaking, if your application needs to only connect to a particular host on a particular port, local port forwards are the right choice. 2. 5. 1. 2 SIP forwards Yes, that's true!You can use SIP phones with Your Freedom as well!Note however that this is still in early beta phase and it may not work properly; we have seen reports that audio only worked in one direction. Once we can find the time we'll continue to work on it. If you'd like to give it a try, here is what you need to do. Assume you are using a SIP server called "sip. sipgate. de" on port 5060, the well-known port for SIP. If you configure a SIP port forward like this one . . . . . . it will turn your local PC into a mirror image of the SIP server. So instead of configuring "sip. sipgate. de" in your SIP phone, configure "localhost". Disable STUN if you can, it's meaningless in this context (but will only make things slower). [. . . ] See if you've got the proxy settings in the application right ­ if it's running on the same PC as the Your Freedom client, use "localhost" or "127. 0. 0. 1" as the proxy host address, and 1080 (SOCKS) or 8080 (web/http/https) as the proxy port. If it's running on another PC, be sure you have relaying enabled (Ports panel) and it's permitted by your profile 11 (Account Profile panel), and you've used the Your Freedom PC's local LAN address as the proxy host address. Then check the message panel in the Your Freedom client ­ do you see blocked protocol messages there?You need to use another Your Freedom server then, the one you are using right now is not supporting a protocol that you need.
