Proxy+ Telnet Gateway Problems

The Problem: ------------ Many admins who use Proxy+ configure the remote administration port (which works over HTTP) to only accept connections from the localhost. Fortunately enough, the admin port doesn't allow connections which have been bounced through the HTTP proxy. The telnet proxy, on the other hand, is a different story. Oops. Workaround: ----------- Enable HTTP Basic authentication instead. And don't trust localhost only security for anything. Credit: ------- Andrew Lewis aka.
