<p dir="ltr">I agree. Apache can proxy and redirect any port to any port.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So can Iptables.</p>

All,<br>
<br>
Im attempting to support a customer who is trying to port forward to a non http service from his firewall.<br>
He wants to use apache to do this.<br>
<br>
<br>
Im 98% sure he cannot do this and that he needs to use something like a Socks proxy or iptable.<br>
However I just want to confirm this with some Linux Elite.<br>
<br>
<br>
So please confirm that apache only proxies http(s) traffic and not a raw socket proxy.<br>
<br>
<br>
If Im wrong please let me know.<br>
Thanks<br>
