     1.4 +`sslh` accepts connections on specified ports, and forwards
     1.5 +them further based on tests performed on the first data
     1.6 +packet sent by the remote client.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +Probes for HTTP, SSL, SSH, OpenVPN, tinc, XMPP are
     1.9 +implemented, and any other protocol that can be tested using
    1.10 +a regular expression, can be recognised. A typical use case
    1.11 +is to allow serving several services on port 443 (e.g. to
    1.12 +connect to SSH from inside a corporate firewall, which
    1.13 +almost never block port 443) while still serving HTTPS on
    1.14 +that port. 
    1.15 +
    1.16 +Hence `sslh` acts as a protocol demultiplexer, or a
    1.17 +switchboard. Its name comes from its original function to
    1.18 +serve SSH and HTTPS on the same port.
