Yes, sorry. But you assembled the paragraphs correctly, and the revised version sounds good, i.e. I would take it. Thanks. > [...] > > #. Type: boolean > > #.

I was not sure how to explain this in a better way. This simply means "any user can create a connection to any port and if your network policy has some restrictions in place then this is a way to circumvent it". > It's being taken for granted here that users don't already have free > access to the Internet, leaving out any mention of the problem that > HTTP tunneling is a solution to. > > Is "this method" HTTP tunneling in general, or is it talking about > AC-NG in particular? > > Why does it claim to provide direct connections when it's a proxy? > > And does AC-NG support tunneling of non-HTTPS traffic, such as random > SSH connections that have nothing to do with package downloads? Those are all valid questions but answering them means explains many details, i.e. compacting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_tunnel and especially the part about CONNECT into a single question. IMHO there should be proper documentation in the manual and that's it; those folks who don't understand the question are provided with a default value and a hint on why it's wise to keep it that way. > > #.
