Firewall Options

For the SOCKS proxy, enter the URL or IP address of the SOHO trusted network. The default IP address is 192.168.111.0.

Disabling SOCKS on the SOHO

Once you have used a SOCKS-compliant application through the SOHO, the primary SOCKS port is available to anyone on your trusted network. You can, however, close this security gap between uses of SOCKS applications.

1Enable the checkbox labeled Disable SOCKS proxy.

This disables the SOHO from acting as a SOCKS proxy.

2Click the Submit button.

When you need to use SOCKS again, follow this procedure:

1Disable the checkbox labeled Disable SOCKS proxy.

This enables the SOHO to act as a SOCKS proxy.

2Click the Submit button.

The SOHO is enabled again as a Proxy server and ready to pass SOCKS packets.

Logging all allowed outbound traffic

By default, the SOHO logs only particular events and not all traffic passing through it. For the most part, the SOHO records denied traffic. However, the SOHO can be configured to record all allowed outbound traffic.

NOTE As this option will record an extensive amount of log entries, WatchGuard recommends that it only be enabled for diagnostic purposes.
