Description


This article describes how to configure SOCKS (Socket Secure) in explicit proxy.

Solution


Execute the below commands to configure socks in explicit proxy:

 

# config web-proxy explicit
    set socks enable / disable
    et socks-incoming port user
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.

Port number that SOCKS traffic from client 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.
