Scope

Solution


Execute the below commands to configure socks in explicit proxy:

 

config web-proxy explicit
    set socks enable / disable
    set socks-incoming port user
end

 

'set socks {enable | disable}' <----- Enable or disable (by default) the Socket Secure (SOCKS) proxy. Once enabled, use the socks-incoming-port entry to set the port number that SOCKS traffic from the user web browsers will use to connect to the explicit proxy.socks-incoming-port <port>.
Note: This entry is only available when socks is set to enable.

The port number that SOCKS traffic from the user web browsers will use to connect to the explicit proxy.
Set the value between 0-65535. The default is set to 0, meaning it will use the same port as HTTP.
