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.
41
42       -S     Increase or decrease stack size. You may want to  try  something
43              like -S8192 if you experience 3proxy crashes.

CLIENTS

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