In other words, based on my authentication, I want to be allowed/disallowed to establish a session using a generic TCP proxy on two specific ports with one specific IP address inside the private network.



A:
You might want to check out Jason Rivard's npsProxy gadget. It doesthis very thing, but does not do any encryption. The end result is that the port will be open for the IP address of users who are authenticated to iChain/NPs and closed to the rest of the Internet universe.
