SOCKS

SOCKS proxy server library provides a comprehensive suite of functions, methods, and structures for building and managing SOCKS proxy servers. The idea is to allow developers to easily create, configure, and deploy SOCKS proxies for secure, anonymous internet communication.

What is SOCKS?

SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. [...]. Practically, a SOCKS server proxies TCP connections to an arbitrary IP address, and provides a means for UDP packets to be forwarded, in version 5. A SOCKS server accepts an incoming client connection on TCP port 1080, as defined in RFC 1928.
