Yes, though you will either have to set up port forwarding or enable UPnP support on your NAT box (internet router). Many modern NAT boxes enable UPnP by default. Note that the UPnP support is currently in beta. You will have to download some additional libraries and change one setting to make it work. See question 24.

Currently, multiple ePOST proxies are only supported if you have multiple ePOST addresses - ePOST is not designed to have two proxies for the same user online at the same time. However, we are looking at adding this feature in future versions. If you would like to run ePOST on two different machines for the same user, it is possible, but you must make sure that only one of the two proxies on online at a given time - otherwise, the proxies may both accept email, and you may miss some emails.

Yes. ePOST is designed to be run on laptops, which periodically connect to the ring, and are later disconnected. ePOST will automatically detect, for example, if you machine has gone to sleep, and will restart itself to rejoin the ring upon waking up. Additionally, ePOST will work behind NATs, assuming that port forwarding can be appropriately set up.

ePOST is a serverless email service, which provides the same type of standard email service as normal email systems, but does it in a decentralized way. Instead of relying of dedicated and maintained servers, ePOST is built using user's desktop machine. This allows ePOST to have better availability, less cost and less administrative overhead.

Yes. You must ensure however, that port 3306 is available in order to permit connection to your remote mySQL server. Network Address Translation boxes are not a problem. Non-translating proxies might be however - contact your systems administrator if you are operating under a proxy to ensure that packets will be properly routed.

NAT stands for Network Address Translation. NAT allows many IP hosts to share a single IP address. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter may be placed behind NAT firewalls.

Yes - ePOST ships with SSL servers for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP, but they are disabled by default. To enable them, simply click on the Prefs button in the ePOST status window, and select Use SSL for th appropriate servers. Restart your proxy, and the IMAP, POP3, and SMTP servers will run with SSL. They will be launched on the same ports as before. Note: Some issues have been discovered with Java 1.5 and SSL. We do not recommend using SSL if you are running Java 1.5 at this time.

Outgoing SSTP connection can pass through any kind of NAT and firewalls - as long as TCP port 443 is allowed (which is normally the case). If the VPN client is behind a web proxy, then outgoing SSTP connection can go through in normal web proxy. SSTP does not support "authenticated" web proxies (i.e. proxies which require some form of authentication during HTTP CONNECT request).

The LDAP Browser/Editor does not provide any special support for proxies. However, Java itself provides SOCKS 4 support. To configure the Browser to use the proxy server add the following properties to the command line to the Java interpreter: -DsocksProxyPort=1080 -DsocksProxyHost=socks.mydomain.com For example: java -DsocksProxyPort=1080 -DsocksProxyHost=socks.mydomain.com -classpath ..... lbe.ui.

No, Vox Proxy requires Microsoft's Active-X? technology, which is currently available only under Windows.

Network Address Translation. NAT is a technology which allows your privately addressed network to connect to the public Internet. For example: Web Shuttle will dial-up to ISP, establish a PPP connection and get a public IP address (legal IP address) from the ISP when one user on the private network requests a web page. When a web server returns a web page, the web shuttle converts the public IP address to the private IP address of the PC.

Just like installing, uninstalling ePOST is extremely easy. First, shut down your ePOST proxy by clicking on the Kill button. Next, simply delete the folder in which ePOST resides. Lastly, be sure to remove automatic email forwarding from any existing accounts, if you have it set up.
