About:
dsocks is a SOCKS client wrapper library designed for BSD and macOS systems. It allows applications to be transparently proxied through SOCKS servers without requiring native SOCKS support. This enables secure network tunneling for standard TCP/IP applications.
Key Features:
  • Transparent proxying for existing applications
  • Supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols
  • Simple LD_PRELOAD-style interception
  • Lightweight and portable C library
Use Cases:
  • Tunneling standard network tools through corporate SOCKS firewalls
  • Adding SOCKS support to legacy applications
  • Secure network access through SOCKS proxies
Alternatives:
  • proxychains – More widely used on Linux, similar LD_PRELOAD functionality
  • tsocks – Alternative SOCKS wrapper with similar approach
