The Firewall-Howto for Linux has a section on socks; you might
want to start there.
http://metalab.unc.edu/linux/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html
One thing it points out is that socks only works with TCP (not UDP
or ICMP) applications, so ping won't work through a socks proxy (If I'm
mistaken or this information is outdated, my apologies).
The freefire project tools page also has pointers to socks
information:

Unix _is_ user friendly. It's just very selective about who its friends
are. And sometimes even best friends have fights.
