Re: can RAZOR use server proxy ?

On my "proxy server" is only installed Squid to cache http traffic and no proxy protocols.
I didn't understand this: 
Can I use the "socksify" tool to redirect Razor requests to go out to public netwotk if I have no socks5 application in my squid "proxy" ?
must I install socks server into my squid ?

If I used plug-gw (FWTK) can I redirect Razor request on 2703 port to 2703 port of another machine which is on external netwotk ?
REQUEST : client, port 2703 -> "proxy" , port 2703

  You can't. Squid is a HTTP/FTP proxy, but razor doesn't use either of those
  protocols to communicate with the razor servers.

  Squid can proxy HTTP requests, FTP, requests Gopher requests. However it cannot
  proxy arbitrary Internet traffic such as IRC, SSH, Telnet, SMTP, etc. That's
  what a Socks5 proxy is for.

  Squid is essentially intended to be a file-transfer caching system. It does so
  by acting as a proxy for protocols that transfer files. Socks5 on the other
  hand, isn't a cache, it's just a proxy, and it can proxy any TCP/IP request the
  client may have.

  However, these days, very few people use socks5 proxyies. They use stateful
  firewalls with overloaded-NAT (aka PAT) instead. It works in a similar fashion,
  but is transparent to the client.

  If you have a real proxy, such as a SOCKS5 proxy, you might be able to get razor
  to use that. However, right now there don't seem to be any options to do so.

  You might be able to use a tool like "socksify" from the Dante proxy package to
  launch your razor tools inside a socks-capable wrapper.

  You might also be able to just re-compile Razor2 with the appropriate socks
  library linked in (ie: -lsocks).
