DESCRIPTION

12       socks  is SOCKS server. It supports SOCKSv4, SOCKSv4.5 (extension to v4
13       for server side name resolution)  and  SOCKSv5.  SOCKSv5  specification
14       allows both outgoing and reverse TCP connections and UDP portmapping.

OPTIONS

17       -I     Inetd mode. Standalone service only.
18
19       -d     Daemonise.  Detach  service  from  console  and run in the back‐
20              ground.
21
22       -t     Be silenT. Do not log start/stop/accept error records.
23
24       -u     Never ask for username authentication
25
26       -e     External address. IP address of interface proxy should  initiate
27              connections  from.  External  IP  must  be specified if you need
28              incoming connections.   By  default  system  will  deside  which
29              address to use in accordance with routing table.
30
31       -i     Internal  address.  IP address proxy accepts connections to.  By
32              default connection to any interface is  accepted.  It´s  usually
33              unsafe.
34
35       -p     Port.  Port  proxy  listens for incoming connections. Default is
36              1080.
37
38       -l     Log. By default logging is to stdout. If  logfile  is  specified
39              logging  is to file. Under Unix, if ´@´ preceeds logfile, syslog
40              is used for logging.

CLIENTS

43       You should use client with SOCKS support  or  use  some  socksification
44       support  (for  example  SocksCAP  or FreeCAP).  Configure client to use
45       internal_ip and port.  SOCKS allows to use almost any application  pro‐
46       tocol without limitation. This implementation also allows to open priv‐
47       iledged port on server (if socks has  sufficient  privileges).  If  you
48       need to control access use 3proxy(8) instead.
