Configuring Firewall Settings
Configuring your SOCKS application
Configure the software using SOCKS on trusted network computers
to connect to a computer on the external network. When you con-
figure the software, use the recommended properties from that soft-
ware documentation.
The Firebox X Edge uses port 1080 to speak to computers with
software using SOCKS. Make sure that port 1080 is open and not
used by other software on the computer.
1
If you can identify a version, select SOCKS version 5.
2
Select port 1080.
3
Set the SOCKS proxy to the URL (uniform resource locator) or IP
address of the Firebox X Edge.
The default IP address is: 192.168.111.1
Disabling SOCKS on the Edge
When the software using SOCKS stops, port 1080 stays open. To
stop this security risk, close the port.

check box.
The SOCKS Proxy is disabled.

Click Submit.
To use the SOCKS-compatible application:
