Proxy Configuration Information For SOCKS 5 & Sockscap

NOTE: (NEW) There is a new program called Proxy Firewall that is easy to use and has many more options then sockscap. To see the setup page for Proxy Firewall click here.

Click Here for information about setting up browsers such as Netscape or IE,
unless you want to configure them along with your other programs using
socks or sockscap, read below.

Each program that you use should have a section in their configuration for
Proxy Setup. In this section the following information will be asked for:

1. Proxy Server Address or Domain:
PROXY1.stealthedip.com, PROXY2.stealthedip.com or PROXY3.stealthedip.com

and shown in the browser section on this web page.)

Sockscap Makes Using Socks Easy
If the Internet program that you are using does not have a proxy setup option,
or if you want to make configuring easier, then you can use a freeware application
such as SocksCap.

Once sockscap is configured for our proxy server, you do not need to configure
any of your Internet programs. Simply click and drag your Internet programs into
the sockscap program control window, start the program, and you are runing on
the proxy! It is this easy.

Downloading Sockscap
Sockscap can be downloaded from http://www.socks.nec.com/cgi-bin/download.pl
Select the package for SocksCap32 version for Windows95/98/2K or NT.
(to download sockscap direct from our server click here)

You can also download a more complicated program that we do not support,
called Hummingbird Socks, which can be downloaded from
http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/socks/index.html

Sockscap is less complicated, and is supported here in these pages.

After Downloading SocksCap you can configure your settings as
shown in the following screen captures.

Sockscap Fast / EASY Setup

Select 'File' from the Top left of the SocksCap interface, then select 'Setup'
from the drop down menu.

Enter PROXY1.stealthedip.com for the Socks server and 1080 for the port.

You can also choose virtual socks or Proxy Connection servers.

For using optional virtual settings for ports and domains Click Here

Under the 'Protocol' section, click on SOCKS Version 4 and enter your
user name that we sent to you.

Select SOCKS Version 5 and select the radio button for "Attempt local
then remote." under the 'Name resolution' section.

Under "Supported authentication" check the box for "Username/Password".

When you are done your configuration window will look like the example below.

From the main SocksCap control window, add your applications the same way
you would create a Windows shortcut as in the following screen captures.
You can drag and drop your favourite applications from your desktop or program
directory into the SocksCap control window for easy "socksification".

Click and drag your program icon into the blank control window and you will see...

Click on New application profile and you will see..

Simply click on the Ok button and your program will be added to the sockscap
control window. Repeat this step for each of your Internet programs that you
would like to use on the LockDown Proxy. When you are finished your sockscap
control window will look something like the example below.

Now you are ready to use sockscap to launch your programs.

1. Close or Exit Sockscap
2. Close or Exit your Internet Programs
3. Make sure that you are connected to the Internet
4. Launch sockscap and enter the user name and password that we sent to you.
5. Launch your Internet programs from the sockscap control window.

When you setup your new applications to run "socksified" you no longer need
to use the proxy settings in the application itself, simply start them through
the SocksCap interface and they will be working under our proxy service and
hide your real connection.

Testing Your Connection

You can test your browser by loading the STEALTESTS.LOCKDOWNCORP.COM web page.
If you are connecting through the proxy, you will see what proxy server or virtual that
you are coming from as well as the IP address.

*NOTE* You can drag and drop your newly created "socksified" clients from the main
SocksCap control window, to your desktop so you don't have to re-open the SocksCap
control window to start your sessions.

Now you are ready. Any time you like you can start your SocksCap program and launch
your Internet programs "socksified" under The Proxy Connection Proxy Servers.
