NAME

       desproxy-socksserver - Using desproxy with dynamic connections

SYNOPSIS

         desproxy-socksserver proxy_host proxy_port local_port

OPTIONS

       None.

DESCRIPTION

       You can see that for every application that needs to be un-proxyzed you
       have to start a desproxy program. That is OK if you are using irc, ssh
       or other application that always connects to the same server. But if
       you need to dynamically establish TCP connections it’s impossible to
       follow that path.

       That’s why desproxy-socksserver, which is just a desproxy
       implementation of a Socks 5 Server. A Socks 5 Server is like a "TCP
       proxy": you just request a TCP connection and the Socks 5 Server does
       the work for you. Of course, client applications need to have support
       for Socks 5 Server.

ENVIRONMENT

       None.

FILES

       None.
