This is NWSL (previously CSTC) version 5.0 of SOCKS, a package that allows Unix hosts behind a firewall to gain full access to the internet without requiring direct IP reachability. It does require a SOCKS server program being run on a host that can communicate directly to hosts behind the firewall as well as hosts on the Internet at large. It is based on the original SOCKS written by David Koblas and the work of the AFT working group of the IETF. NOTE: The shared library features in socks5 require a dynamic linker that understands the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE supports this; so do versions of -current and -stable later than May 2, 1996. All other features will work with FreeBSD 2.0 and later. WARNING: Export of SOCKS from the US without a proper license is a violation of ITAR rules. WARNING: Commercial use and distribution of this software requires a license from NEC corporation. See the README files for more information.
