- AnotherGoodName 3y agoYeah the quick and dirty socat way can be an advantage or disadvantage. I like it for the times i just need to quickly get something through as a once off exactly because it runs when i run it. I feel like hacking some port mapping up during a disaster as more of a socat thing than an iptables thing but hey if it works it works.
