Socks Puppet is a freeware, multithreaded, win32 socks 5 server. It allows linking of tcp/ip connections through firewalls and gateways. The socks 5 server acts as a proxy, passing connecting traffic on as if it orginates from the socks server. Many clients today support the socks 5 protocol. Socks Puppet has been tested on Windows NT, 2000, XP and 98/Me. It uses an insignificant amount of system resources.
