<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>
