I could see how rdr (which I understand to be the same as NAT?) could work, except it needs to be redirected to a program that then routes the traffic through the socks server? I have not been able to find such a program (and the above socks clients only act as a wrapper for other programs?). Perhaps a simple program that gets the redirected incoming traffic [like squid does] but then just connects to the destination server (with a socks wrapper doing the routing through the socks server)??? Or just a socks based solution?

The way I think of it is similar to NAT (in the capturing of traffic)? Or am I missing something?

Transparent SOCKS proxy (server side)?
Hi, My ISP's NAT, unfortunately, does not work more than it does. This is a problem as I need to provide 'direct' internet access for the computers inside my network. I would like to set up a transparent SOCKS proxy (similar to transparent HTTP proxy, aka squid) on the server. Does anyone know how to do this (and which ports to use)? This needs to be a server side solution since I am unable to implement this on the clients... I know there is a Linux specific program that does this, called KSB [http://ksb.sourceforge.net] that looks like what I would like, except the wrong OS :-( Regards David signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
