    Summary: Library for catching network connections, redirecting them on a SOCKS server
    Description: 
    tsocks is designed for use in machines which are firewalled from the
    Internet. It avoids the need to recompile applications like lynx or
    telnet so they can use SOCKS to reach the Internet. It behaves much
    like the SOCKSified TCP/IP stacks seen on other platforms.
    
    tsocks is a library to allow transparent SOCKS proxying. It wraps the
    normal connect() function. When a connection is attempted, it consults
    the configuration file (which is defined at configure time but defaults
    to /etc/tsocks.conf) and determines if the IP address specified is local.
    If it is not, the library redirects the connection to a SOCKS server
    specified in the configuration file. It then negotiates that connection
    with the SOCKS server and passes the connection back to the calling
    program.
