The main components are SOCKS client and SOCKS Proxy Server.
SOCKS Client works in the layer between Application layer and Transport Layer. SOCKS Proxy Server works in the application layer.
It works in this way:
- SOCKS client makes connection request and sends the authentication methods supported
- SOCKS Proxy Server selects the authentication method
- SOCKS client gets authenticated with server
- It sends SOCKS CONNECT request for setting up Proxy circuits
- Relays Application Data
