I see what your saying. We were talking past each other a bit
I'm talking about automating the second part.

For example if I wanted to host my website or relay over hyperdht then I would use holesail --live 80

However anyone who wants to access it would have to bind it to localhost with a port they choose
That's fine if they are accessing it only once. But they would have to bind the port every time ( every reboot )

So that's what the HTTP proxy is for. It allows apps ( like browsers ) to proxy their traffic through a local server
Which means the HTTP proxy can intercept their requests and bind the ports automatically then forward the traffic through hyperdht to the correct node
