tsocks on the mac

| | Comments (1)
At work, we use socks proxies a lot.  I'm hoping to run some unix-y apps on the mac, "soxified" (where the app does not know it is being sent via socks).   Tonight I installed tsocks using the macports collection. This was my final working config (after beating my head on DNS being broken over and over):

local = 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
local = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
server = 127.0.0.1
server_port = 1080
server_type = 5
tordns_enable = 0


tordns_enable had a crappy default; once I found and set it 0, things started to work over my socks tunnel on 127.0.0.1:1080.   I can now run "tsocks alpine" to run my mail client, for example.
