The WinSock Relay application was designed to be a tool which allows you to route incoming socket connections on your computer to a different port and/or computer. This is sometimes referred to as IP forwarding.

I originally wrote WinSock Relay to allow multiple computers to share a dial-up connection. It would allow you to point your email client or web browser to a server on your network running WinSock Relay.
 
WinSock Relay would detect incoming connections on the server, automatically dial-up to your ISP, then forward the connection to the real mail or web server. When done, it would disconnect to save you on your ISP charges.

Ok, that was 1996. Today, dial-up is pretty much history. Also, Windows NT supports IP forwarding in the OS if you can figure out how to configure it. So why use WinSock Relay?

WinSock Relay is simple to configure, and you can easily save and load configurations. WinSock Relay can bypass all Windows socket security. WinSock Relay can log all traffic that passes through it for later viewing. This can be very useful for debugging HTTP and other socket communications.
