    (Answer)  (Category)  FAQs : (Category)  Check Proxy Professional FAQ (English) : (Category)  About SOCKS : (Answer)  What is SOCKS?
    SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol that enables hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain full access to hosts on the other side of the SOCKS server without requiring direct IP-reachability. SOCKS is often used as a network firewall, redirecting connection requests from hosts on opposite sides of a SOCKS server. The SOCKS server authenticates and authorizes requests, establishes a proxy connection, and relays data between hosts.
    There are two major versions of SOCKS: SOCKSv4 and SOCKSv5. David Koblas is the original author.
