This bid is being reposted as I now have sufficient information to accurately describe what I need. I am in need of a TDI filter driver capable of intercepting outgoing connections on various ports. These connections will be forwarded to a local proxy server which will then handle the connection as necessary. Three things will be needed: 1.) the TDI filter driver. The driver will only forward connections if the proxy server is running, otherwise it will allow the connections to pass unfiltered. 2.) a user-mode API for installing/unistanlling the TDI filter driver. 3.) a user-mode API for informing the TDI filter when the proxy server becomes available and becomes unavailable. The APIs should work as follows: BOOL InstallTdiDriver(); BOOL UninstallTdiDriver(); BOOL InformTdiDriverOfStatus(BOOL bServerIsAvailable); InstallTdiDriver will install the TDI driver. UninstallTdiDriver will uninstall the TDI driver. InformTdiDriverOfStatus will inform the TDI driver of whether or not the proxy server is available. If TRUE is passed as the argument, the TDI driver will then begin forwarding connections to the proxy. If FALSE is passed then the TDI filter will allow all data to pass unfiltered. Upon installation of the TDI driver, the driver will assume the proxy server is unavailable. In other words, until it receives notification from InformTdiDriverOfStatus, it will allow data to pass unfiltered. I am not sure of the price for this project so please post a reasonable bid.
