The Number of connections is only limited by memory or other stuff! The practical limit is 64 or the winsock limit whichever is lower.
Can pass requests to other SOCKS servers! - Check the "Chain to other SOCKS" box to do this.
Can log all data that passes through it! - Check the "log" box.
Can limit sending and recieving bandwith usage separately. The limit can be toggled on and off without stopping the server.
1.Fill in the bandwidth limit in the box.
2.Check the box.
Can restrict incomming connections by host.
ok_hosts.txt contains list of hosts allowed to connect if the restrict if the "Restrict by IP" box is checked.
Host Name entries will require a potentially lengthy Reverse DNS Lookup. Any segment of an IP address or Host name may be replaced by an *.
For example www.*.com would match www.domain.com and www.otherdomain.com. 123.123.123.* would match any IP address that begins with
123.123.123. Embedded wild cards such as www.dom*n.com and 123.123.1*3.123 are not allowed
Accepts the following commandline params:
"-p{port}" - start with the port box filled with port
"-rh{remote host} {remote port}" - start with SOCKS chaining enabled through remotehost and port.
"-go" - start listening for connection immediately instead of waiting for the user to press start.
"-min" - start minimized
"-tray" - minimize to tray (also use -min to start minimized to tray)
"-res" - restrict hosts
Our Review: This application is for server montoring and maintenance. Socket Serv can be set up to monitor a particular server for both speed and actual connection. However, it has no onboard help files which draws away a lot from the application as it is not extremely simple to use. Help files are always a must when using programs for this purpose. Overall, a very average application.
