end
'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 client 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.
