Remarks

If the user needs to connect to a remote server through a proxy, this property should be set to a value other than ProxyNone. Depending on the type of remote proxy, the user should specify the correct protocol with this property. Socks 4/4a and Socks 5 are general proxy protocols, universal to any type of protocol. Relay is not a real proxy, but just a 'pipe' or 'redirector' that listens on a predefined port, and when a client connects to it, opens a predefined destination hostname and redirects all traffic between the client and the remote server. A relay proxy is very useful when testing other protocols.

 

ProxyWindows type is included in version 2.1.6. It uses same values as specified in Internet Explorer, under Tools->Internet Options->Connections->LAN Settings. wodTelnetDLX will use anything specified for "Socks" proxy addresses, or for "Secure" if socks isn't specified.

There are no telnet-specific proxies, since such proxy types are different among proxy servers. If you need such proxy support - it is sufficient to telnet to proxy server, and then issue command manually. Usually proxy server tells you what command needs to be issued and in what format.
