Socket Firewall Enterprise

Socket Firewall Enterprise is an HTTP/HTTPS proxy server that intercepts package manager requests and enforces security policies by blocking dangerous packages. It supports a number of ecosystems and package managers and can operate in many modes:

  • Registry Mod (Recommended)- in this mode, Socket Firewall runs as a persistent service and operates as a registry interface that package managers can interface with directly.
  • CLI Wrapper Mode - in this mode, Socket Firewall runs locally and is prefixed to package manager commands in your terminal. The experience is similar to Socket Firewall Free, differing in its additional configurability.
  • Proxy Mode - in this mode, Socket Firewall runs as a persistent service and operates as a centrally-managed HTTPS proxy.

Learn how to deploy and configure Firewall in these modes by consulting the mode-specific documentation.
