>Description:
I did 'man csup' in hope to find ready-to-use solution for getting csup(1) to work from behind the SOCKS5 proxy.

Manual page is referring to "standard runsocks" command.

I had to Google to learn it's a part of "net/socks5" port.

I tried pkg_add -r socks5

No such a port. After

portsnap fetch
portsnap extract

You can see this port doesn't exist anymore.

We need ready to use solution ("givemewhatevernecessarytomakeproxywork.sh") to get this configuration going quickly.

man csup
