Chapter 19. HIP Proxy

It might not be possible to run HIP at all with old legacy client hosts even with the userspace IPsec. In such a case, HIP can be migrated to middlebox (e.g. router) by using the so called HIP Proxy. The HIP proxy "translates" connections from the client host to HIP-based connections to servers. The extension is experimental and needs both hipd and hipfw on the middlebox. You can enable the option using "hipconf hipproxy on".
