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 NEC website + +With this module you can enable most of the network aware &kde; +applications to transparently use SOCKS. + +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 lynx or +ftp are already working) then you can simply check +the Enable SOCKS support checkbox. + +When this box is checked, several further options become available +to you. + +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 Auto detect. If you know the +client you have, you could choose either NEC +Socks or Dante. If you have a +custom built SOCKS library to use, you can select Use custom +library and then enter the path to it in the +Path field. + +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 Add and +Remove to add or remove paths. + +At any time while filling in this module, you can press the +Test button, and &kde; will report immediately +with a message box to tell you if it could find and initialize SOCKS or +not. + +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. + + + + -- cgit v1.2.1
