The question remains as to whether that's a proxy... It's a
circuit-level-gateway and therefore functionally closer to port forwarding
than to an actual proxy, IMHO, since the connection isn't actually
terminated, but instead, IP packets are simply sent on by the gateway. Feel
free to correct me if I'm wrong.
