This package needs a new maintainer! If you are interested in helping with the maintenance of tsocks, please get in touch with our Proxy Maintainers team.
tsocks' role is to allow non SOCKS aware applications (e.g telnet, ssh, ftp etc) to use SOCKS
without any modification. It does this by intercepting the calls that applications make to establish network connections
and negotating them through a SOCKS server as necessary.
