Setting SOCKS proxy options

To configure Content Gateway as a SOCKS proxy, you must enable the SOCKS proxy option and specify the port on which Content Gateway accepts SOCKS traffic from SOCKS clients.

As a SOCKS proxy, Content Gateway can receive SOCKS packets (usually on port 1080) from the client and forward requests directly to the SOCKS server.

Note: You must set SOCKS proxy options in addition to enabling the SOCKS option and specifying SOCKS server information described in Configuring SOCKS servers.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Configure > Security > SOCKS > Proxy.
  2. Enable SOCKS Proxy.
  3. Specify the port on which Content Gateway accepts SOCKS traffic. The default is port 1080.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. Click Restart on Configure > My Proxy > Basic > General.
