System service

This service is often referred to as the "system-wide proxy server".

Posix packages should install this proxy server as a system service and update the firewall rules to allow access to its IANA assigned TCP port (14500).

This service makes it possible to start and access sessions through a single authenticated port.

The `start-via-proxy=yes` option allows servers to start their sessions via this service so that they are registered correctly with the local seats management system (`pam` / `logind`), which should prevent early termination if their controlling shell is destroyed (ie: if the `SSH` session they are started from is terminated). * [proxy server](Proxy-Server.md) * [authentication](Authentication.md) * [system service for the proxy server](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/1335) - original feature ticket * [systemd socket activation](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/1521) * [systemd multi seat support](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/1105) * [`peercred` authentication module](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/1524) * [IANA registration and default port](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/731)
