Can HexGadgets work with proxy servers and firewalls?
Proxies and firewalls are a complex subject, and the answer greatly depends on your particular setup. HexGadgets do not include any proxy-related provisions themselves. • HexDns and HexLookup: You may have a DNS server on your local network that they can use. Queries can go through a firewall if it allows outgoing UDP traffic to port 53. • HexValidEmail: DNS validation uses HexDns, so the statements above apply. For SMTP validations, you will probably need either a direct path to the Internet or SOCKS redirection software such as NEC’s SocksCap. Firewalls will need to allow outgoing traffic to TCP port 25 (for SMTP). • HexTcpQuery: For Whois and most other protocols, you will probably need a direct path to the Internet or a SOCKS redirector. For HTTP, however, you can probably use the simple CERN proxy protocol: To get our home page, you would normally connect to our server on port 80 and send the following query: GET / HTTP/1.0 To use a CERN proxy, you would connect to your proxy serv
