General Information on Socks Templates

Socks Templates are rules that control security through the Socks server. The Socks Templates function allows you to customize, add to, copy, or delete existing Socks Templates. These Socks Templates, in turn, can be used in the definitions of Connections on the Firewall.

The figure below illustrates how Socks Templates can become a part of connection configurations.
