NAME

       redsocks - redirect any TCP connection to a SOCKS or HTTP proxy

SYNOPSIS

       redsocks [options]

DESCRIPTION

       redsocks is a daemon running on the local system, that will transparently tunnel any TCP connection via a
       remote SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy server.  It  uses  the  system  firewall's  redirection  facility  to
       intercept  TCP  connections, thus the redirection is system-wide, with fine-grained control, and does not
       depend on LD_PRELOAD libraries.

       Redsocks supports tunneling TCP connections and UDP packets. It  has  authentication  support  for  both,
       SOCKS and HTTP proxies.

       Also  included  is  a small DNS server returning answers with the "truncated" flag set for any UDP query,
       forcing the resolver to use TCP.

OPTIONS

       -p pidfile
              Write the process ID to pidfile.

       -c config
              Use config as configuration file.

       -t     Test configuration file syntax.
