WinGate Power Router is a relay between an outgoing connection to a WinGate and an incoming local connection to your computer through a TCP/IP application (No UDP support). Steps-by-steps, here is what the application does:
- WGPR connects to the WinGate on Port y (conventional port of the TCP/IP application)
- WGPR listens on Port x, port x is linked with Port y.
- WGPR sends the server address and port to the WinGate and establishs an undirect connection from Port x to the server.
- TCP/IP Application connects to localhost (127.0.0.1) on port x and establishes the connection between the application and the remote server, here is a sample schematic:
WGPR can be used to connect to servers where you ISP is not allowed to go to. Some encryption devices server block various IP subnets, even some which shouldn,t be blocked, this is a way to bypass that protection. WGPR can be used to use your favourite TCP/IP applications through your WinGate proxy, even if these applications do not support proxy servers.
How to use WInGate Power Router
First of all you must find a WinGate to connect through, I suggest you to refer to oleBuzzard's MacSpoofing text which explains in detail how to find WinGates. Here is a brief overview:
1. Get the AGnetTools application (www.aggroup.com)
2. Chose a subnet to scan (i.e. 207.96.163.0 to 207.96.163.255)
3. Do a service scan on this subnet on port 1080
4. Find all IP which we found to have an open 1080 port on TCP, most of them are WinGates.
Once you got your WinGate, enter its address in the Wingate field, keep port 23 as TCP port. When you're done with the WinGate, chose a local port to listen on. If your TCP/IP application has a conventional port (i.e. a mailbomber would have port 25 (SMTP)) then use that port, if your TCP/IP application can use custom ports, like an IRC client, feel free to set it to any port. For the example we will set it to port 25.
When you are done setting this up, enter the server and port you would have conencted to using the TCP/IP application. As an example, if we wanted to use logik's CAEM anonymous emailer through the haxor.com SMTP daemon, we would type haxor.com as IP address and 25 as port. So here are our example settings:
WinGate IP: 207.96.253.48
WinGate Port: 23
Incoming Port: 25
Remote Server IP: haxor.com
Remote Server Port: 25
Now we're ready to try the application. First of all we must connect to the WinGate by pressing on the Connect button of the Wingate groupbox, once the WinGate is well connected, press the Listen button of the incoming connection groupbox. WGPR will be listening on port 25 for your connection from the TCP/IP Application. Then, make sure send on connection checkbox is checked in the last groupbox. Everything is ready, now get into CAEM (Completely Anonymous Emailer, dont forget thats an example) and connect to your localhost (127.0.0.1) port (the port you chose to be the incoming port, we chose 25) CAEM doesnt allow custom ports since its a SMTP client, we will just type 127.0.0.1 as IP address, then proceed like you would have normally proceeded. The email sent will have the IP of the WinGate you sent it through, you succeeded!
Closing Notes
The use of this application may not seem very easy, actually, its not. This application was meant principally for people who already have experience in such applications. I highly recommend oleBuzzard's MacSpoofing text to learn more about how to find and use WinGates. Also remember using a WinGate which does not belong to you without a permission from the owner is illegal, make sure you have the rights to use a WinGate before using it. As a rule of thumb, only use this application on YOUR machines.
