| About Cheapo

The application "Cheapo" is a proxy that can be used to route QuakeWorld network traffic. Additionally, the proxy can modify the data and has features for enhancing gameplay. You can connect to cheapo as if it were a Quakeworld server, and then give it commands that forward you to a real server. You can also go through multiple proxies, if you like. The most common way to use a proxy is to run it on the local computer, just to get access to the gameplay features. The proxy can also be run on a firewall machine incapable of handling Quake traffic, so that machines inside the firewall can be used for playing.
The "cheapo" application is a command line application, which has to be launched from the "Terminal". Once launched it will run in the background. The application can be found inside the "Extras" folder that comes with this Quake version. Please refer to "http://www.cheapoproxy.org/" for an indepth documentation.
