Source address spoofing/IP spoofing

CACHEBOX can mimic the IP address of the client making the requests. This avoids problems with web servers that limit the number of connections from a single address.

Most caches make requests to web servers using their own IP address. This leads to a number of problems:

Many web servers limit the number of simultaneous connections made at one time from a single address.
If an end user does something illegal online, the IP address of your cache gets recorded in the web server’s logs, not the users IP address.
If your network has a device up-stream of the cache that logs or controls access based on the users IP address then it won’t work as well because it can’t see their IP.

To solve this problem CACHEBOX uses Source Address Spoofing to make requests to web servers using the end users IP address.
