SOCKS implements version 4 of the SOCKS firewall protocol. It allows a
Macintosh to become a SOCKS server which lets users with SOCKS compatible
clients to connect to the SOCKS firewall and then the server in turn
connects to the outside world on the user's behalf. Together with a
correctly configured router, SOCKS can reduce the possible methods of attack
by crackers on the Internet.
SOCKS requires MacTCP and System 7 and the Thread Manager.
SOCKS is $50 shareware (the high price is because this is not really a
user-oriented program).
Version 1.0.1 stops it from expiring (oops, there is a lot of that going
around
, and makes it a little more CPU friendly when it is not beingused.
Hope it is useful to you,
Peter.
