RE: can RAZOR use server proxy ?

razor agents support SOCKS, so you should be able to use a SOCKS server
to 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).
