PACKAGE NAME: tsocks-1.8beta5-i486-1McD_slack10.2.tgz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./Console/tsocks PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 36 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 90 K PACKAGE REQUIRED: PACKAGE SUGGESTS: PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: tsocks: Transparent SOCKS proxying library - tsocks 1.8beta5 tsocks: SOCKS servers are a form of proxy that are commonly used in firewalled tsocks: LAN environments to allow access between networks, and often to the tsocks: Internet. The problem is that most applications don't know how to gain tsocks: access through SOCKS servers. tsocks' role is to allow these non SOCKS tsocks: aware applications (e.g telnet, ssh, ftp etc) to use SOCKS without any tsocks: modification. It does this by intercepting the calls that applications tsocks: make to establish network connections and negotating them through a tsocks: SOCKS server as necessary. tsocks: Homepage: http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/ tsocks: (Compiled by martijn@inlv.org on 19-Oct-2006)
