On CentOS 7, can the FirewallD service be used as a SOCKS server? i.e. if I connect ISP line to server's port #1 and LAN to port #2?
Using Squid allows LAN clients to browse only, but other things such as FTP, POP, etc. require a SOCKS server.



Yes, I am aware of using a proper router / firewall, my question is can the Linux server be used in such a way?

          No.



          I think what you're really asking is if you have 2 NICs can you use your Linux system as a NAT proxy for other servers within your network.



          This you can do.



          For this to function as a SOCKS proxy, you'd have to enlist another piece of software that can act as a SOCKS proxy.
