Hi, I'm the GSoC student working on creating a pluggable transport combiner. Progress: 1. I worked on modifying the SOCKS protocol to save the requested address and redirect the requester to a different address. 2. The pt combiner client side now starts a new chain of proxies in between the pts per connection instead of having to create a new set of pts per connection. 3. The pt proxies now shut down their ports after a single connection is established, lowering the number of ports needed. 4. Tested using authenticated pts and added a better logging mechanism. Quinn
