Setting SOCKS proxy options
Help | Content Gateway | Version 8.1.x
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.
