Description

redsocks is a daemon running on the local system, that will transparently tunnel any TCP connection via a
       remote  SOCKS4,  SOCKS5  or  HTTP  proxy  server.  It  uses the system firewall's redirection facility to
       intercept TCP connections, thus the redirection is system-wide, with fine-grained control, and  does  not
       depend on LD_PRELOAD libraries.

       Redsocks  supports  tunneling  TCP  connections  and UDP packets. It has authentication support for both,
       SOCKS and HTTP proxies.

       Also included is a small DNS server returning answers with the "truncated" flag set for  any  UDP  query,
       forcing the resolver to use TCP.
