I was failing the DalNet "secure proxy check" till I came up with the
following socks5.conf settings:
interface 192.168.1. - eth0
auth 192.168.1. - -
permit - - 192.168.1. - - - -
deny - - - - - - -
eth0 is the interface to my private network (192.168.1.*) and eth1 is the
interface to my cable modem.
