IT security solution for companies wanting to connect computers across firewalls using proxy software
About OpenText SOCKS
OpenText™ SOCKS Client is a Windows®–certified security solution that connects to hosts across firewalls. Without requiring any changes to enterprise applications, OpenText SOCKS Client helps organizations enforce security policies and allow applications to reach legitimate external hosts through simple, centrally controlled rule-based settings. The SOCKS Client uses the SOCKS industry-standard security protocol, including SOCKS5, developed to allow computers on one network to connect to hosts on another network through a proxy. Firewalls can impose severe restrictions on IP data traffic, leading to problems for software not using mainstream IP ports, such as mail and remote access protocols. Organizations require a solution that keeps firewalls effective and secure, yet still allow IP access to services behind the firewall.

No exhausting onboarding or sales process to go through.
