SOCKS implementation for the SOHO

SOCKS is a network proxy filter that works with SOCKS-aware applications. A typical SOCKS-dependent application requires that several sockets be opened and made available to the Internet. When a SOCKS-aware application (ICQ is SOCKS-aware) registers with the SOCKS server, SOCKS is able to manage the need of the application to have many ports open.

To use an application with SOCKS, the application must be configured with the SOCKS server information.

Setting up your SOCKS application for use with the SOHO requires no reconfiguration of the SOHO appliance itself. Your SOHO acts as the SOCKS proxy. You must, however, configure your application to be compliant with the SOHO implementation of SOCKS version 5.

The SOHO SOCKS feature has the following characteristics and limitations:
