+5.13. The P2P Relay Function in the VPN Gate Client to strengthen the
+capability of circumvention of censorship firewalls
+VPN Gate Clients, which are published since January 2015, include the P2P
+Relay Function. The P2P Relay Function is implemented in order to strengthen
+the capability of circumvention of censorship firewalls. If the P2P Relay
+Function in your VPN Gate Client is enabled, then the P2P Relay Function will
+accept the incoming VPN connections from the VPN Gate users, which are located
+on mainly same regions around you, and will provide the relay function to the
+external remote VPN Gate Servers, which are hosted by third parties in the
+free Internet environment. This P2P Relay Function never provides the shared
+NAT functions nor replaces the outgoing IP address of the VPN Gate users to
+your IP addresses because this P2P Relay Function only provides the
+"reflection service" (hair-pin relaying), relaying from incoming VPN Gate
+users to an external VPN Gate Server. In this situation, VPN tunnels via your
+P2P Relay Function will be finally terminated on the external VPN Gate Server,
+not your VPN Gate Client. However, the VPN Gate Server as the final
+destination will record your IP address as the source IP address of VPN
+tunnels which will be initiated by your P2P Relay Function. Additionally, user
+packets which are transmitted via your P2P Relay Function will be recorded on
+your computer as packet logs as described on the section 5.8. After you
+installed the VPN Gate Client, and if the P2P Relay Function will be enabled
+automatically, then all matters on the 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9,
+5.10, 5.11 and 5.12 sections will be applied to you and your computer, as same
+to the situation when you enabled the VPN Gate Service (the VPN Gate Server
+function). If your P2P Function is enabled, then your computer's IP address
+and the default operator's name which is described on the section 5.5 will be
+listed on the VPN Gate Server List which is provided by the VPN Gate Project.
+You can change these strings by editing the "vpn_gate_relay.config" file
+manually. Note that you need to stop the VPN Client service before editing it.
+The VPN Gate Client will automatically enable the P2P Relay Function on your
+computer if the VPN Gate Client detects that your computer might be located in
+regions where there are existing censorship firewalls. If you want to disable
+the P2P Relay Function, you must set the "DisableRelayServer" flag to "true"
+on the "vpn_client.config" file which is the configuration file of the VPN
+Client. Note that you need to stop the VPN Client service before editing it.
+The VPN Gate Client does not recognize the particular regulation of your
+country or your region. The VPN Gate Client activates the P2P Relay Function
+even if your country or your region has the law to restrict running P2P relay
+functions. Therefore, in such a case, you must disable the P2P Relay Function
+on the VPN Gate Client manually by setting the "DisableRelayServer" flag if
+you reside in such a restricted area, in your own responsibility.
