NAME
       redsocks - rediect 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.
