Help | Content Gateway | Version 7.7.3

The socks_server.config file specifies the SOCKS servers available to Content Gateway.

Format

To specify SOCKS servers use the following format:

alias=name host=IP_address|domain_name port=port_number [username=user_name password=password] default=true|false

where:

name is the name of a SOCKS server.

IP_address or domain_name is an IP address or a domain name that can be resolved by your DNS service.

port_number is the port on which the SOCKS server is listening.

username and password are the username/password pair for SOCKS 5 authentication. The password is encrypted.

Set default to true to make the specified server a default SOCKS server. When the default server option is on, the SOCKS server is used when no SOCKS rule matches.

If no SOCKS server is designated a default server, traffic that doesn't match a rule is not routed through a SOCKS server.

Examples:

This example adds the SOCKS server 'default1' at 127.0.0.1 on port 61080. It is designated a default SOCKS server.

alias=default1 host=127.0.0.1 port=61080 default=true

This example adds a SOCKS server that uses authentication. Note that the password, "465751475058" is not the real password. It is encrypted.

alias=test1 host=socks5.example.com port=1080 username=test password=465751475058 default=false

If this file is modified, you must restart Content Gateway.


	Note Each rule in socks_server.config cannot exceed 400 characters.
