I've read the page on tsocks at tsocks.sourceforge.net. I've tried to
compile it, but it won't compile under Mulinux. (As expected, but I
tried anyway).
I compiled it under an older version of slackware with the same 2.0.35
kernel and libc5. I did an ldd on the binary to make sure Mulinux had
the same libraries and installed it, but I couldn't get it to work.
(Yes I read the installation documents)
I'm not a programmer, so I don't know where to go from here. Maybe
someone out there would think this is a nice project to undertake???
For those who don't know, tsocks, when it's working, intercepts all TCP
traffic calls and routes them to a SOCKS server, so everything (mail!)
is transparently proxied. That way I don't have to find a bunch of
socksified binaries for my mulinux box (a wonderful 386 33).
I know the best solution would be to pay an ISP, but I have DSL and the
DSL modem only has drivers in Windows. So I'm forced to dial in with a
windows machine. I have this nice HTTP Socks 4/5 proxy program I got
free (AnalogX). I can use netscape and tell it where the proxy machine
is, but I can't do much else. I know I can set up several different
proxies on my windows box to go around several of the problems, but I
thought the SOCKS way of doing it would be the easiest. At least the
least number of programs running on my windows box for my wife to
complain about. :)
Anyway, enough of my ranting. Thanks for listening.
