Routers define the target IP address and port for the traffic. The default router, called TransparentRouter, uses the IP address requested by the client. The destination selected by a router may be later overridden by the proxy (if the Target address overridable by the proxy option of the router is enabled) and the chainer.

Routers suggest the destination IP; chainers establish the connection with the selected destination. The default ConnectChainer simply connects the destination selected by the router.
