socks5d - start or stop the SOCKS5 daemon

socks5d off|{on password [port]}

Command socks5d on starts a NAT32 SOCKS5 daemon. A password must be specified. The daemon listens at the specified port number or at TCP Port 1080 (the default).

Command socks5d off stops the SOCKS5 daemon. Any established connections are unaffected. New connections cannot be established.

The SOCKS5 daemon responds to TCP connection requests arriving at the Windows private IP address (not the NAT32 private IP address). This address is shown in the response to the socks5d on command.

To terminate an established session, use the command:

kill socks5p

To change the password for future sessions, use the password command.

Any SOCKS5 username is acceptable, only the password is checked.

The SOCKS5 daemon has been tested with ICQ99 and FTP Voyager. ICQ Chat Mode is supported and FTP transfers work in non-passive mode.

SOCKS5 need only be used with applications which do not work behind a NAT or a firewall.

The maximum number of SOCKS5 sessions is currently set to 8.

The Port Number used for TCP listen requests is fixed at: 5555 + (session_number - 1)
