Tight Socks 5 is a small and efficient program that allows you to create a single or multiple server socks at home or at your office in just a few clicks.

Basically a server socks is what is commonly called a proxy server. It allows you to mask your real IP address. All traffic (packets) will go through the server socks program. The target destination (a web site for example) will only ‘see’ the server socks IP and not your real address.

Socks 5 is an update of the Socks 4 protocol with the big difference that Socks 5 supports the authentication process which is very important if you don’t want to see anybody using your proxy server without your authorization.

How it works

Because TightSocks5 is a server program, the first step is to forward your ports. You must create a rule in your router to allow the incoming and outgoing traffic through the chosen port.

Chose a non too common port or port range to avoid an application conflict. The best option is to choose port 1024. Below that one most of them are reserved for other duties.
