+sslh (applicative protocol multiplexer)
+
+sslh accepts connections on specified ports, and forwards them further
+based on tests performed on the first data packet sent by the remote
+client.
+
+Probes for HTTP, SSL, SSH, OpenVPN, tinc, XMPP are implemented.
+Any other protocol that can be tested using a regular expression can
+be recognised. A typical use case is to allow serving several services
+on port 443 (e.g. to connect to SSH from inside a corporate firewall,
+which almost never block port 443) while still serving HTTPS on that
+port.
+
+There's a tutorial on using sslh, here:
+
+https://www.unixmen.com/sslh-a-sslssh-multiplexer-for-linux/
+
+To start sslh as a daemon at boot, add this code to
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+[ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sslh ] && /etc/rc.d/rc.sslh start
+
+Before doing this, it's advisable to have a look at the example config
+files in /etc/sslh/*.cfg. The actual config file is sslh.cfg; the
+others are just examples.
+
+Optional dependencies:
+
+libev - needed for sslh-ev executable. Most people won't need this; see
+the sslh documentation for details. Will be autodetected.
+
+libbsd - allows sslh-fork to change its process title (as shown in
+'ps'), so each forked process shows what protocol and what connection
+it is serving. Autodetected.
