Setting of Proxy
Contents
Connection through Socks5-proxy server
Proxy server is a special program, which allows LAN users to work with Internet (when only one machine has the “real” IP address). Please contact your network administrator if you’re not sure how you’re connected, and how to set appropriate options here. Such popular program as ICQ works in LAN using Socks5 protocol. You must indicate proxy-server domain in setting of delivery if you use proxy-server.
Address
Proxy-server address. May be either domain or IP-address. Examples: proxy.isp.com, 10.1.1.1.
Port
Server port. Usually, it is 1080. Don’t confuse Socks5 proxy with http and ftp proxies, which are on 3128 and 3121 ports by default. The program doesn’t work through http or ftp proxies.
Use RFC 1929 authentication (clear-text)
The server requires authentication, i.e. requires user login and password. In most Socks5 realizations, the login and password are transferred as a plain text, as described in RFC 1929 document.
Login
The name (login) of Socks5 proxy server user.
Password
The password for Socks5 proxy server user.
Use mapping for DNS
Use port mapping to work with DNS using UDP protocol. Some proxy-server realizations, for example WinGate 3.0, work incorrectly using UDP protocol, and in that case it is necessary to use such mapping. For example, if your proxy-server has an address 10.1.1.1, then map 53 UDP-port of the first DNS, e.g. ns.ml.org, to 53 local port, and the port of the second DNS – to 54 local port. In DNS setting, indicate these addresses as 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.1:54 (port 53 is used by default).
