What is OpenText SOCKS?

The OpenText™ SOCKS Client is a certified security solution for Windows® that aids in establishing connections to hosts across firewalls. This tool allows companies to uphold security measures without requiring changes to their enterprise applications, enabling authorized external host access through simple, centralized rule-based configurations. By leveraging the industry-standard SOCKS security protocol, including SOCKS5, this client allows devices on one network to interact with hosts on another using a proxy. Firewalls frequently impose stringent restrictions on IP traffic, which can pose challenges for applications that do not use standard IP ports, such as those needed for email or remote connections. To ensure that firewalls remain effective and secure while allowing IP access to services hidden behind them, businesses require a dependable solution. The SOCKS Client fulfills this requirement by delivering a smooth and secure link to external networks, all while maintaining the integrity of the firewall. In addition, it enhances overall network performance by minimizing the disruptions caused by strict firewall policies.
