SOCKS is an
Internet protocol that allows
client-server applications to
transparently use the services of a network
firewall. SOCKS is an abbreviation for "SOCKetS"
[1].Clients behind a firewall, needing to access exterior servers, may connect to a SOCKS
proxy server instead. Such proxy server controls the eligibility of the client to access the external server and passes the request on to the server. SOCKS can also be used in the opposite way, allowing the clients outside the firewall ("exterior clients") to connect to servers inside the firewall (internal servers).
