Description: multithreaded, small, efficient SOCKS5 server
MicroSocks - multithreaded, small, efficient SOCKS5 server, is a SOCKS5
service that you can run on your remote boxes to tunnel connections
through them, if for some reason SSH doesn't cut it for you.
.
- It's very lightweight, and very light on resources too.
- It's also designed to be robust: it handles resource exhaustion gracefully
by simply denying new connections, instead of calling abort() as most
other programs do these days.
- Another plus is ease-of-use: no config file necessary, everything can
be done from the command line and doesn't even need any parameters for
quick setup.
