It's pretty far out there. For example, I don't even know what "socks" is -- beyond the vague notion that it's related to network sockets or footwear  |

It's not related to sockets. Read all about it here:
http://www.socks.permeo.com/
I use proxycap to connect to computers outside of a firewall (ports on the firewall have to allow for whatever protocol is being used). It requires a connection to an internal "socks" server. Socksified is another term that's used when talking about socks capable applications. I could use proxycap to "socksifiy" an ahk app, but still, whatever protocol I was using in the ahk script, would have to be allowed access through the firewall.
Proxy servers do basically the same thing for http(s)/ftp protocols.

| Thanks for the background. It's been ages since I've done anything with firewalls, proxies, NAT, etc. |
