Socks Firewall Component

VIT

Traversing Firewalls with Socks4 / Socks5

The Distinct Socks component allows you to write applications that traverse a network firewall. This is vital, as most companies now have a security firewall that controls the flow of packets in and out of the local network. Without firewall support your application would be unable to communicate with any computer outside the local network. The Distinct Socks component currently supports SOCKS 4 and 5. SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol that enables hosts on one side of the SOCKS server to access hosts on the other side of the SOCKS server without direct IP reachability.

SOCKS support is also built into the FTP Client, NNTP, POP, SMTP, Telnet, and Windows Sockets components.

Expected time savings: 9 man-months

Expected time savings is the time that, based on our experience, would take a skilled developer with good understanding of TCP/IP networking and very well versed in C/C++, to develop this control. This time can be used as a guideline of the cost involved if you choose to develop it yourself or have someone else develop it for you.

Yahoo! Chooses Distinct SOCKS Component

Yahoo! has licensed Distinct's SOCKS5 to Socks-enable Yahoo! Pager a messaging program that allows users to communicate instantly with friends, family, colleagues, and others over the Internet.
"Some of our users were behind corporate firewalls at their workplaces and wanted to but were unable to use Yahoo! Pager," said Brian Park, producer of Yahoo! Pager, Yahoo! Inc. "Together with Distinct, we were able to offer our users an ideal solution enabling them to connect to Yahoo! Pager, and to do so both quickly and reliably".
