ITP: tsocks -- transparent network access through a SOCKS 4 or 5 proxy



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

I intend to package called tsocks.

Package: tsocks
License: GPL
URL: http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/

Description:
-----------------
 tsocks provides transparent network access through a SOCKS
 version 4 or 5 proxy (usually on a firewall). tsocks intercepts the
 calls applications make to create TCP connections and determines if
 they can be directly accessed or need the SOCKS server. If they need
 the SOCKS server they connection is negotiated with the server
 transparently to the application. This allows existing applications to
 use SOCKS without recompilation or modification. tsocks is a wrapper
 library for the libc connect() call.
