[PROXYPER] need a non-TCP/IP personal proxy

[Messenger, Mark]

Your first concern would be addressed by NAT-ing your computers behind your
DSL computer/router.  Private IP ranges are considered non-routable, and
thusly, not attackable from the outside world (generally speaking. Yes, I
know there are ways to fool some routers/NAT daemons into faking a session
to an internal host.  This is a rare case, as I understand it).

As far as Dnet goes, the lack of incoming connections is not a problem.  I
have verified that the Dnet client (and the Dnetd personal proxy) will work
just fine on NAT-ed IP addresses.  I run this at home on my 5-odd working
machines.   

Does this answer your question?  If not, let me know :)

I don't want people to be able to send packets directly to a unprotected
windows 3.11 WFW system. Yes I know about NAT but I'm afraid that NAT
won't map the DATA back to the originating computer properly. Also NAT
doesn't allow incoming connections which I think will be a problem.
