retitle 94213 O: distributed-net-pproxy -- Personal proxy for distributed.net
clients
thanks
[description from slink - may have changed in the meantime]
With this proxy, you can serve v2 distributed.net RC5-64 & DES
clients. It allows you to establish one of your own machines as a
buffer between your clients and one of the keyservers that are
officially run by the distributed.net organizers. This will allow
your clients to waste less time trying to connect to one of the
main proxies, since the personal proxy will already have more key
blocks waiting for your clients when they're ready.
.
Running a personal proxy is definitely not needed by everyone, nor
is it recommended. You should only run a personal proxy if you are
very confident of your abilities, and you have a firewalled,
unreliable, or intermittant connection to the Internet to directly
contact one of the servers.
yours,
peter
