I love ssh for its portforwarding capabilities. This is way cool. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, we use tsocks all the time and it’s great. I first read about it on ntk.net, who also introduced me to another great networking tool called socat, the `swiss army chainsaw’ of shell/networking tools. I’ve not needed socat often, but when I have I’ve *really* needed it and it’s come through for me. Stick ssh port forwarding and socat together and you can do some pretty wild things(1)!
