Serial Port Redirector

Serial ports are largely absent from modern personal computers, but can still be found on industrial devices and embedded systems. Since serial communication differs significantly from TCP/IP, debugging and analyzing serial-based protocols requires different approaches.

GOST added serial port redirector functionality after v3.0.0-rc8. This enables forwarding local serial port data to a TCP service, or TCP service data to a local serial port, or even forwarding between remote serial ports. Serial forwarding enables two use cases: remote serial communication and serial data monitoring.
