It does this by intercepting the calls that +applications make to establish network connections and negotating them through +a SOCKS server as necessary. + +tsocks is based on the 'shared library interceptor' concept. Through use of +the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, tsocks is automatically loaded into the +process space of every executed program. |
