    Any idea why Firefox says "This web page at 3proxy.ru has been reported to contain unwanted software and has been blocked based on your security preferences." ?

  • @Moab: it happens when you click on the download link inside that page, not on the page linked by OP directly

  • @Hikari: Not by default but if you click on "Options" then you'll see an tickbox labelled "NT service".

WinGate has had SOCKS support for many years. The current version supports:

  • SOCKS4
  • SOCKS4a
  • SOCKS5, including support for UDP, and plaintext and GSSAPI (Active Directory integrated *) authentication

Policy/Events support allows you to modify Connect, Bind and UDP associate requests, so you can divert connections where you like.

Connections can be intercepted to other proxies (for example the caching web proxy, or mail proxies) so that HTTP (and even HTTPS) over SOCKS can benefit from caching and AV scanning.

Connections can also be gatewayed via an upstream SOCKS4, SOCKS4a or HTTP tunneling proxy.

WinGate has a free license for 10 concurrent users or you can purchase a license if you need more users or features.

Feature Breakdown by license

* You need an enterprise license for AD support.
