Using the Redirector :: Proxy Servers

Proxy Server Support

The Serial/IP Redirector supports TCP network connections made through a proxy server, which may be controlling access to external networks (such as the Internet) from a private network that lacks transparent IP-based routing, such as NAT.

Proxy server support is built into the Serial/IP Redirector because it is a driver that runs in kernel mode. Conventional proxy server support for Windows applications is provided in user mode and is unavailable to drivers.

The Serial/IP Redirector supports the following proxy protocols:

• SOCKS v5

• SOCKS v4

• HTTPS

The Serial/IP Redirector is compatible with the following proxy servers:

• Microsoft ISA (for the SOCKS protocol only)

• Apache on Linux and Windows

• Squid
