How do I configure EZBackup.com to work through a SOCKS proxy server?
[return to top] Ezbackup.com client can be configured to connect out through a SOCKS proxy server. The IP address (or the DNS) of the proxy server and the port number on which it listens for connections must be known in order to configure the backup software. SOCKS is designed to allow outgoing connections and responses back to those connections, but to prevent other incoming packets. This is consistent with Ezbackup.com. If your SOCKS proxy server has been set up with additional restrictions on outgoing connections, it is necessary to include Connected’s subnets in the permitted destinations.When prompted by the Ezbackup.com setup program to select a Firewall option, select the, “Use SOCKS proxy firewall” radio button and enter your proxy server information. (Note: The default setting for SOCKS TCP Port is 1080).
