Overview
********
The SOCKS library implements SOCKS5 support, which allows Zephyr to connect
to peer devices via a network proxy.
See this
`SOCKS5 Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS#SOCKS5>`_
for a detailed overview of how SOCKS5 works.
For more information about the protocol itself, see
`IETF RFC1928 SOCKS Protocol Version 5 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1928>`_.
SOCKS5 API
**********
The SOCKS5 support is enabled by :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_SOCKS` Kconfig variable.
Application wanting to use the SOCKS5 must set the SOCKS5 proxy host address
by calling :c:func:`setsockopt()` like this:
.. code-block:: c
static int set_proxy(int sock, const struct sockaddr *proxy_addr,
socklen_t proxy_addrlen)
{
int ret;
ret = setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SOCKS5,
proxy_addr, proxy_addrlen);
if (ret < 0) {
return -errno;
}
return 0;
}
SOCKS5 Proxy Usage in MQTT
**************************
For MQTT client, there is :c:func:`mqtt_client_set_proxy()` API that the
application can call to setup SOCKS5 proxy. See :ref:`mqtt-publisher-sample`
for usage example.
