SOCKS implementation for the SOHO 6 Wireless

The SOHO 6 Wireless functions as a SOCKS network proxy server.
An application that uses more than one socket connection and
implements the SOCKS version 5 protocol can communicate
through the SOHO 6 Wireless. SOCKS supplies a secure, two-way
communication channel between a computer on the external
network and a computer on the trusted network. To use a SOCKS-
compatible application, configure the application with the
necessary information about the SOHO 6 Wireless.
The SOHO 6 Wireless supports SOCKS version 5 only. The
SOHO 6 Wireless does not support authentication or DNS
(Domain Name System) resolution.
Configure the SOCKS-compatible application to connect to IP addresses
and not to domain names. Applications that can only reference domain
names are not compatible with the SOHO 6 Wireless.
Some SOCKS-compatible applications that function correctly when
used through the SOHO 6 Wireless are ICQ, IRC, and AOL
Messenger.
