NAME¶

socksify - dynamically SOCKSifies a program

SYNOPSIS¶

socksify program [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION¶

socksify is Dante's equivalent of the NEC SOCKS' runsocks. sockisfy uses LD_PRELOAD environment variable to wrap all networking-related system calls so that programs can go thought a SOCKS server that was installed as part of a firewall.

SEE ALSO¶

dante.conf(5)

NOTES¶

A more permanent solution would be to add the LD_PRELOAD environment value to the shell startup files. Then all non-set[ug]id applications that are linked dynamically would be socksified. However this can have bad side-effects.
