SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. SOCKS5 optionally provides authentication so only authorized users may access a server. Practically, a SOCKS server proxies TCP connections to an arbitrary IP address, and provides a means for UDP packets to be forwarded.

[7] [8] Shadowsocks is not a proxy on its own, but (typically) is the client software to help connect to a third-party SOCKS5 proxy. Once connected, internet traffic can then be directed through the proxy. [9] Unlike an SSH tunnel, Shadowsocks can also proxy User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic.
A proxy server may reside on the user's local computer, or at any point between the user's computer and destination servers on the Internet.A proxy server that passes unmodified requests and responses is usually called a gateway or sometimes a tunneling proxy.
The LAMP stack with Squid as web cache.. Squid is a caching and forwarding HTTP web proxy.It has a wide variety of uses, including speeding up a web server by caching repeated requests, caching World Wide Web (WWW), Domain Name System (DNS), and other network lookups for a group of people sharing network resources, and aiding security by filtering traffic.
SSL/TLS provides transport-level security with key negotiation, encryption and traffic integrity checking. The use of SSL/TLS over TCP port 443 (by default; port can be changed) allows SSTP to pass through virtually all firewalls and proxy servers except for authenticated web proxies.
Virtual private network (VPN) is a network architecture for virtually extending a private network (i.e. any computer network which is not the public Internet) across one or multiple other networks which are either untrusted (as they are not controlled by the entity aiming to implement the VPN) or need to be isolated (thus making the lower network invisible or not directly usable).
Apple changed its preferred zeroconf technology from SLP to mDNS and DNS-SD between Mac OS X 10.1 and 10.2, though SLP continues to be supported by Mac OS X. Apple's mDNSResponder has interfaces for C and Java [ 33 ] and is available on BSD, Apple Mac OS X, Linux, other POSIX based operating systems and MS Windows.
