Routing Through a SOCKS Server

If you already have a remote SOCKS server running on your network, you can configure the proxy to connect to the SOCKS server for specific resources.

To Route Through a SOCKS server

1. Access the Server Manager and click the Routing tab.

2. Click the Set Routing Preferences link.

   The Set Routing Preferences page is displayed.

3. Select the resource from the drop-down list or click the Regular Expression button, type a regular expression and click OK.

4. Select the Route Through option in the Routing Through Another Proxy section of the page.

5. Select the Route Through SOCKS Server option.

6. Specify the name or IP address and the port number of the SOCKS server that the proxy server will route through.

7. Click OK.

8. Click Restart Required.

   The Apply Changes page is displayed.

9. Click the Restart Proxy Server button to apply the changes.

Next Steps

Once you have enabled routing through a SOCKS server, you should create proxy routes using the SOCKS v5 Routing page. Proxy routes identify the IP addresses that are accessible through the SOCKS server your proxy routes through. Proxy routes also specify whether that SOCKS server connects directly to the host.
