If people are looking for something like that, there's Dante, which is a
Free ("BSD/CMU-type license") SOCKS 4/5 implementation that has a dynamic
(LD_PRELOAD-style) "socksify" program.

That won't help on platforms that don't support LD_PRELOAD. (eg some
AIXes, but AIX has had built-in SOCKS support since at least 4.3.2).

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
