Sending and receiving message blocks/TCP stream over SOCKS5 proxy (running locally or over a network) with TCP sockets is a pain. I was frustrated when trying to send some TCP stream through a SOCKS5 server, so I implemented an abstraction over TCP sockets for this specific purpose. The interface is super easy to use; take a look at example.cpp.
- Remote DNS resolution support (privacy)
- Local IPv4 & DNS name resolution support
- Client Authentication handler support (decoupled with NOAUTH)
