Forwarding Server
In this window, you can change how JAP acts as a forwarding server. With this function, other JAP users who cannot connect directly to the anonymization service can still get a connection using your JAP as an access point. Please note, however, that there is a risk that you could be suspected of a crime that another JAP user commits if your system was used as the forwarding system for that crime.
Forwarding Server Settings
- Server Port for Forwarding
Enter the port number that your JAP program uses for incoming forwarding connections. This port must be open for incoming connections in your firewall.
- My internet connection
Select the type and speed of your internet connection. The value in the field "Max. bandwidth" is automatically set.
- Percentage for Forwarding
Choose a percentage from this field to set how much of your total upstream bandwidth should be used forwarding.
- Max. used bandwidth
The bandwidth actually used for forwarding based on the settings above is shown here.
Supported Mixcascades
This section allows you to make changes to two settings. Either you allow all clients that use your JAP as a forwarder to access all JAP cascades known by your own client ("Allow client access to all available mixcascades"), or you only allow access to certain cascades. Which cascades are allowed to be accessed is determined by the buttons "Add to allowed cascades" and "Remove from allowed cascades". Access is then allowed only for the cascades found in the "Allowed mixcascades" list.
InfoService registration
In order for JAP users that require a forwarding server to find your JAP forwarding server, your JAP must be registered as a forwarder by at least one InfoService. You can register at all InfoServices or only at certain ones. The procedure is analogous to that for Supported Mixcascades.
