Proxy > SOCKS Proxy
SOCKS is a universal proxy supported by many client applications. SOCKS5 is an IETF (Internet Engineering
Task Force) approved standard, proxy protocol for TCP/IP-based networking applications. The basic purpose of
the protocol is to enable hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain access to hosts on the other side of a
SOCKS Server without requiring direct IP access. When an application client needs to connect to an application
server, the client connects to a SOCKS proxy server. The proxy server connects to the application server on
behalf of the client and then relays data between client and the application server. For the application server, the
proxy server is the client.
Differences Between SOCKS and NAT:
•
SOCKS allows BIND requests (listening on a port on behalf of a client; however, very few clients
support this).
•
SOCKS5 allows user authentication.
•
The SOCKS proxy is used for point-to-point connections.
The RouteFinder‘s SOCKS implementation supports the SOCKS protocol versions. However, when using
SOCKS v4,
User Authentication
is not possible.
Socks Default Port:
1080. Almost all clients will default to this port setting, so it normally does not need to
be configured.
