What is SOCKS?

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol that enables hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain full access to hosts on the other side of the SOCKS server without requiring direct IP-reachability. SOCKS is often used as a network firewall, redirecting connection requests from hosts on opposite sides of a SOCKS server. The SOCKS server authenticates and authorizes requests, establishes a proxy connection, and relays data between hosts.

Why SOCKS?

Because of its simplicity and flexibility, SOCKS has been used as a network firewall, generic application proxy, in virtual private networks (VPN), and for extranet applications. SOCKSv5-based applications offer many advantages due to its strong, yet flexible protocol framework:

• Transparent network access across multiple proxy servers
• Easy deployment of authentication and encryption methods
• Rapid deployment of new network applications
• Simple network security policy management
