Hello
I was trying to figure out what a SOCKS server does, did a google for it and the wiki reads
"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"
if SOCKS is transparent, then why have it in the first place, what is its use?
is the SOCKS a part of a firewall?
