If you are talking about socks4, recompiling any tcp app to be socks compatible is as easy as the following. Get the socks lib, either from the server, or build your own. Then >From How_to_SOCKSify in the distribution 3) Add -Dconnect=Rconnect -Dgetsockname=Rgetsockname -Dbind=Rbind -Daccept=Raccept\ - Dlisten=Rlisten -Dselect=Rselect to all cc lines. If Makefile is used, this is simply done by adding the above to the definition of macro CFLAGS. 4) Make sure that the appropriate SOCKS library (version 4.2, built with -DSHORTENED_RBIND) is linked in in the ld or the last cc command to produce the executable. There are steps 1 and 2 but they are not required. See the 4.2 distribution. It may be available from http://www.socks.nec.com/ This is mostly socks5 though.
