NAME

       socksify - runtime socksification of selected programs

DESCRIPTION

       The  shell  script  socksify is meant to aid in using socks with already compiled dynamic binaries.  This
       works by setting the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to libdsocks.  It will  then  attempt  to  wrap  all
       networking-related system calls.

       When  used the script can socksify a program by simply prefixing the given program and its arguments with
       the socksify script, like in the example below.

       $ socksify ftp ftp.example.org

ENVIRONMENT

       The socksify script, and the Dante socks library used by  the  socksify  script,  can  interpret  several
       environment variables.

       SOCKS_CONF
              Gives  the  name  of  the socks.conf file.  Default is /etc/socks.conf, unless it was changed when
              compiling the Dante libsocks libraries.

              Creating a socks.conf is the recommended way to use socksify, but socksify can also  be  used  for
              most  simple configurations without any socks.conf file, as long as the proxy server to use is set
              in one of the supported environment variables.

       SOCKS_DEBUG
              Enables debug logging.  The value given should be a number, one or up,  indicating  the  level  of
              debugging provided.

       SOCKS_LOGOUTPUT
              This  value  controls  where the client library sends logoutput.  It can be either syslog, stdout,
              stderr, a filename, or a combination.  The default is nowhere.

       SOCKS_USERNAME
              Use the value of SOCKS_USERNAME as the username when doing username authentication.

       SOCKS_PASSWORD
              Use the value  of  SOCKS_PASSWORD  as  the  password  when  doing  username  authentication.   Not
              recommended as other users on the system might be able to see your password.

       SOCKS_SERVER, SOCKS4_SERVER, SOCKS5_SERVER,
              These  variables  allow the address of the server to be specified without using a socks.conf file.
              If a socks.conf-file is present, it is ignored if any of these variables are set.

              The accepted format is <ipaddress>:<port>.  If the SOCKS_SERVER value is  set,  it  indicates  the
              specified  server  supports  all socks versions supported by Dante.  If if either of the other two
              variables are used, they indicate the given socks server supports  only  the  corresponding  socks
              version, v4 or v5.  Note that if the socks server requires any form of authentication, you need to
              use SOCKS5_SERVER, as v4 does not support authentication.

       HTTP_CONNECT_PROXY
              This variable can be used to specify the location of a HTTP proxy supporting the connect  request.
              The format used to specify a HTTP proxy is http://<ipaddress>:<port>.

       UPNP_IGD
              This  variable  can be used to specify the location of a UPNP enabled IGD router.  There are three
              possible value for this variable: a full URL, the interface name the router is reachable  via,  or
              the value "broadcast" to search for the IGD on all appropriate interfaces.

       Note that if any of the above environment variables, indicating the
              proxy server to use are set, the Dante client will not parse the socks.conf file.

       SOCKS_AUTOADD_LANROUTES
              If  this  variable  is  set  to  "no",  the  client will not try to auto-add direct routes for all
              addresses on the LAN.  The default is to add them.

       SOCKS_DISABLE_THREADLOCK
              If this variable is set, the client will not perform threadlocking.  The default is for the client
              to  attempt  to  figure  out for itself whether the application to socksify needs threadlocking or
              not.

       SOCKS_DIRECTROUTE_FALLBACK
              If this is set to "yes", the client will fallback to attempting a direct connection if  the  proxy
              route fails.  The default is "no".
