Hello. I've installed tsocks from package repository and is working fine. Except I had to resolve domain name on the remote end, which is not satisfied.
Reading tsocks man page I realized I had to compile tsocks on my own with configuration options --enable-socksdns and --disable-hostnames in order to make tsocks resolve domain name remotely, so I did it, after removed tsocks package. However then I keep getting time out error: $ tsocks wget http://www.g.cn --2009-12-13 23:43:08-- http://www.g.cn/ Resolving www.g.cn... 203.208.37.104, 203.208.37.99 Connecting to www.g.cn|203.208.37.104|:80... 23:46:18 libtsocks(7687): Error 110 attempting to connect to SOCKS server (Connection timed out) failed: Connection timed out.

And, if the configuration is in effect, being able to resolve domain showed connection to socks server is OK. I am not experienced in networking stuff, so I wonder what would you do from here. Overhearing socks traffic? Or report a bug? I should have discussed this on tsocks forum but having noticed there are about 2 posts per year and some questions gets unanswered (e.g. "is the development stopped?") for years, I think I might try luck at OS-distribution's list.
