SOCKSForce

SOCKSForce

Tool for forcing the connections through a SOCKS5 proxy.

Intended use: launch the configured SOCKSForce and override the addresses of the domains in /etc/hosts like so:

127.0.0.1 my.domain.name

Requests to my.domain.name will be received by SOCKSForce, wrapped into a SOCKS5 connection and proxied through specified SOCKS server transparently to other programs.

NOTE: listening on privileged ports like 80 or 443 is forbidden for non-root processes. Run sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/SOCKSForce to allow it. If setcap is unavailable you have to run SOCKSForce as root.
