I'm using sockd together with the tis fwtk with no problems at all. The standard clients that come with socks work like a charm, Other than that I've only tried netscape, since the CERN httpd in proxy mode seems not to support secure connections :-( Using the socks proxy worked like a charm. > Any comments/suggestions/advices and things to watch out for ? I've not run into any interoperability problems between the fwtk and socks yet and don't expect any, they are simply two different proxy mechanisms that happen to run on the same host.
