    Configure a SOCKS Proxy

    Configure a SOCKS Proxy

    The appliance uploads processed data to Netskope using SFTP to upload-<tenant-URL>, which requires connectivity on port 22 from the appliance. The SOCKS proxy only works with the cloud in tethered mode. 

    1. If the SFTP traffic needs to be routed through a SOCKS Proxy, then enter these commands at the configuration prompt to specify the SOCKS proxy server:
      set log-upload socks-proxy hostname <hostname or IP address>
      set log-upload socks-proxy port <port>
      set log-upload socks-proxy username <username>
      set log-upload socks-proxy password <password>
      set log-upload socks-proxy-version <version 4 or 5>
    2. To save the SOCKS proxy configuration, enter save at the configuration prompt.
