Here’s a concise write-up for , a tool that allows you to route any application’s traffic through a SOCKS proxy by using tisocks (a wrapper similar to proxychains but for the Tails operating system or standalone usage). TISocks – Transparent SOCKS Proxy Wrapper TISocks is a dynamic library preload tool that forces any Linux application to route its network traffic through a SOCKS proxy. It is particularly known for being included in Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), but can be used independently on any Linux distribution. How It Works tisocks uses LD_PRELOAD to override standard networking functions (like connect() ). When an application tries to establish a TCP connection, TISocks intercepts it and redirects the traffic through a configured SOCKS proxy – typically a local Tor SOCKS proxy ( 127.0.0.1:9050 ).
