SOHO 6 trusted network. The default IP address is

Disabling SOCKS on the SOHO 6

Once you use a SOCKS-compliant application through the
SOHO 6, the primary SOCKS port is available to anyone on your
trusted network. You can close this security gap between uses of
SOCKS applications.

1

Enable the checkbox labeled Disable SOCKS proxy.

This disables the SOHO 6 from acting as a SOCKS proxy.

2

Click Submit.

When you need to use SOCKS again, follow this procedure:

1

Disable the checkbox labeled Disable SOCKS proxy.

This enables the SOHO 6 to act as a SOCKS proxy.

2

Click Submit.

The SOHO 6 is enabled again as a Proxy server and ready to pass SOCKS

packets.

Logging all allowed outbound traffic

By default, the SOHO 6 logs only particular events and not all
traffic passing through it. For the most part, the SOHO 6 records
denied traffic. However, the SOHO 6 is able to record all allowed
outbound traffic.

OTE

This option will record an extensive amount of log entries. For this
reason, WatchGuard recommends that you use it for diagnostic purposes
only.
