.TH afserver 1 "apf 0.6" Jeremian
.SH NAME
afserver \- active port forwarder server
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B afserver [
.I options

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Afserver
is a port forwarding program designed to be efficient and easy to use. It listens for incoming

connections at listenport (default listenport is 50126). After successful client authorization,

listens for incoming user connections. When a new user connection is opened, all the data is redirected to previously connected
.B afclient,
which redirects it to the specified destination host:port.
