+<title
+>SOCKS</title>
+
+<para
+>SOCKS is a protocol to execute proxy requests for a client. SOCKS is capable of authentication and encryption of traffic, and is often found in corporate settings, as opposed to home users. For more information about SOCKS, see the <ulink url="http://www.socks.nec.com"
+>NEC</ulink
+> website</para>
+
+<para
+>With this module you can enable most of the network aware &kde; applications to transparently use SOCKS.</para>
+
+<para
+>Setting up of a SOCKS client is outside the scope of this document, and the differences between the commonly used ones are very large. If you already have a working SOCKS implementation, allowing you to use commandline clients (for example, if <command
+>lynx</command
+> or <command
+>ftp</command
+> are already working) then you can simply check the <guilabel
+>Enable SOCKS support</guilabel
+> checkbox.</para>
+
+<para
+>When this box is checked, several further options become available to you.</para>
+
+<para
+>First, you should select which of the various SOCKS clients you have installed on your computer. &kde; will attempt to find this out by itself, if you choose <guilabel
+>Auto detect</guilabel
+>. If you know the client you have, you could choose either <guilabel
+>NEC Socks</guilabel
+> or <guilabel
+>Dante</guilabel
+>. If you have a custom built SOCKS library to use, you can select <guilabel
+>Use custom library</guilabel
+> and then enter the path to it in the <guilabel
+>Path</guilabel
+> field.</para>
+
+<para
+>If you want &kde; to auto detect the SOCKS library in use, but you suspect it isn't looking in the right places or you have installed it in a non-standard location, then you can add further paths to be searched in the bottom of this panel. Use the <guibutton
+>Add</guibutton
+> and <guibutton
+>Remove</guibutton
+> to add or remove paths.</para>
+
+<para
+>At any time while filling in this module, you can press the <guibutton
+>Test</guibutton
+> button, and &kde; will report immediately with a message box to tell you if it could find and initialise SOCKS or not.</para>
+
+<para
+>Changes made here will not affect any applications that are already open. You will need to close and restart them before they are able to connect via SOCKS.</para>
