### 
Download 1.2.1 (for Windows, Linux, OS X and FreeBSD, ...)
---
PortFusion is a minimalistic, cross-platform, transport-layer distributed
reverse / forward proxy and tunneling solution for TCP released under
[GPLv3](#license).
A single package that makes the most of each platform by tapping into their
unique capabilities, combining this power with an intuitive interface, beautiful
design and [Haskell]'s excellent support for unprecedented levels of concurrency
and parallelism.
It strives for the smallest source code size while delivering maximum throughput
with near-zero overhead.
---
[Today, a growing number of companies and institutions around the world use PortFusion.](https://github.com/corsis/PortFusion/wiki/Users)
---
## Use
PortFusion is a tiny command line application.
| Distributed Reverse Proxy Mode | Distributed Forward Proxy Mode |
|:--------------------------------|:-------------------------------|
| |
|
Work from home using [remote desktop services](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Services) circumventing corporate firewalls.
| Connect to the internet through a http proxy via a gateway to a friend's intranet.
| |
| `↓ home ↓` PortFusion ] 2000 [
PortFusion 3389 localhost - 2000 home [ 3389
`↑ work ↑` | `↓ friend ↓` PortFusion ] 2000 [
PortFusion 3128 ] friend 2000 - server 3128
`↑ you ↑`
| |
| Connections to `home:3389` will now be tunnelled and reach `work:3389`.
You only need to make `home:2000` accessible from work.
| Connections to `you:3128` will now be tunnelled and reach `server:3128`.
Your friend only needs to make `friend:2000` accessible.

### Trademark
```
PortFusion™ is a trademark of Corsis Research (corsis.tech).

### Trademark Policy
```
You may only distribute unchanged official binaries using the
PortFusion and Corsis Marks.
If you're taking full advantage of the open-source nature of Corsis
products and making significant functional changes, you may not
redistribute the fruits of your labor under any Corsis trademark,
without prior written consent from Corsis. For example, if you've
modified PortFusion, you may not use Corsis or PortFusion, in whole
or in part, in your product name. Also, it would be inappropriate
for you to say "based on Corsis PortFusion". Instead, in the interest
of complete accuracy, you could describe your executables as "based on
PortFusion technology", or "incorporating PortFusion source code."
In addition, a "Powered by PortFusion" logo will be made available.

## Know
### Principles
Development follows simple principles:
1. Be concise: [PortFusion is a single-file with less than 500 lines of code](https://github.com/corsis/PortFusion/blob/master/src/Main.hs)
2. Be relentless: [refactor and prune *constantly*](https://github.com/corsis/PortFusion/compare/v1.0...master#diff-9)
4. Be open: share everything
1. Create [fully documented reusable libraries](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/splice) that [cover common needs](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10080670/using-gnu-linux-system-call-splice-for-zero-copy-socket-to-socket-data-transfe)
2. [Use the most permissive licenses possible](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/splice)
3. Report [bugs in external code](http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7134) and [work on fixes](https://github.com/haskell/network/issues/31)
4. [Illustrate every concept in publication-worthy detail](#illustrate)
5. Be friendly: [provide excellent support to users](https://sourceforge.net/p/portfusion/discussion/general/thread/7ad0cb49/)
### Japanese Influence: ]-[ayabusa (はやぶさ) (Hayabusa)
I had already spent a great deal of time contemplating a nice and intuitive
syntax and it was only when I watched the Japanese movie
[Hayabusa](http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-movie/hayabusa/) about [the
same-named space probe](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayabusa) sent to extract
and bring to Earth pieces from the asteroid Itokawa that everything just fell
into place:
```
# command line # source file
] [ :><: # serve
- [ :-<: # reverse
] - :>-: # forward
# > and < are reserved characters at command line
# ] and [ are reserved characters in Haskell
```
PortFusion owes its design goals, ambitions and 1.0 release name ]-[ayabusa
to the great Japanese culture and friends.
### Family
We hope to grow a whole family of software-defined networking solutions reaching
all network layers, technologies and devices.
