tsocks

a transparent SOCKS proxying library

This project is originally hosted by sourceforge http://tsocks.sourceforge.net

Porting to macOS by Zou Guangxian zouguangxian@163.com based on http://marc-abramowitz.com/archives/2006/01/29/building-tsocks-on-mac-os-x, with fixes by Mikhail Zakharov zmey20000@yahoo.com

Notes for macOS

• Install OpenSSH from sources (or use Homebrew https://brew.sh port) as the default ssh will not work with the preloaded library:

    brew install openssh

• To permanently sockify all connections using preloaded library, set essential environmental variables on login:

    launchctl setenv DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE 1
    launchctl setenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/local/lib/libtsocks.dylib
