Soks is minimalistic SOCKS5 proxy over a network interface (like a VPN or a second physical network device). A possible use case is to use it in conjunction with PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) to make browsers and other applications visit a certain set of sites using a differente network device.
Soks doesn't implement the whole SOCKS5 protocol, it only supports the NO AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED authentication method and TCP CONNECT request type.
This is enough to make it work with browsers like Mozilla Firefox or other applications like ssh (when proxied with netcat).
