Are you having problems accessing emails? Do Remote Desktop Connections fail to connect? Or do you have issues with other Internet services due to firewall restrictions?

Open Text SOCKS Client can help you. Developed based on the industry standard SOCKS v4/v5 protocols, Open Text SOCKS Client can redirect TCP and UDP connections from your machines to the final destination through a SOCKS server and relay all sorts of data traffic between two end points.

Governed by easily configurable rules, Open Text SOCKS Client can control access based on applications, destination host names or IP addresses, port range, or any combination of those. Moreover, Open Text SOCKS Client can also function as a SOCKS-based personal firewall that can accept, deny, or socksify connections according to those set rules.

Open Text SOCKS Client is available on 32 and 64-bit platforms, and its future-proof design supports all the latest Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008.

Not only does Open Text SOCKS Client support a wide range of modern Windows operating systems, it sports an intuitive user interface and offers easy-to-configure, rule-based settings, and it was designed with enterprise use in mind. Open Text SOCKS Client can be a part of your Single Sign-On initiative by allowing users to seamlessly authenticate SOCKS connections using Microsoft Active Directory or other Kerberos clients, such as Open Text Kerberos or MIT Kerberos.

To evenly distribute the load on SOCKS servers and provide a greater degree of reliability, Open Text SOCKS Client can randomly connect to SOCKS servers listed during configuration and provide load balancing and protection against any single point of failure
