Play World of Warcraft via SOCKS or SSH tunnel
It's not working for me. Here's what I did.
Punched a whole through the local proxy server using connect.c.
The SSH command is ssh -v -g -p443 -D 8080 -C -F ~/.ssh/configelem USER@MYHOSTIP -L 6112/*/6112 -L 3724/*/3724I then call tsocks ./World\ of\ Warcraft &(from within the Application's .app folder of course.) (By the way, DarwinPorts is now MacPorts.) WoW starts up and seems to connect through the SSH server but gets stuck at login saying "Authenticating". My SSH output gives me the following debug1: Connection to port 8080 forwarding to socks port 0 requested. debug1: channel 10: new [dynamic-tcpip] debug1: Connection to port 8080 forwarding to socks port 0 requested. debug1: channel 11: new [dynamic-tcpip] debug1: Connection to port 8080 forwarding to socks port 0 requested. debug1: channel 12: new [dynamic-tcpip] debug1: Connection to port 8080 forwarding to socks port 0 requested. debug1: channel 13: new [dynamic-tcpip] debug1: channel 13: cannot handle: socks4 cn 240 debug1: channel 13: free: dynamic-tcpip, nchannels 14 debug1: Connection to port 8080 forwarding to socks port 0 requested. debug1: channel 13: new [dynamic-tcpip] channel 13: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused debug1: channel 13: free: direct-tcpip: listening port 8080 for 0.0.0.0 port 3724, connect from 127.0.0.1 port 49923, nchannels 14Any ideas?

Okay, I figured it out. At the bottom of the MacPorts page for tsocks, was the following message:
The tsocks.conf.sample file is in ${prefix}/etc. Rename it to tsocks.conf to use it. You should set tordns_enable to false if you're not using Tor.I believe that that is a warning it spits out to you upon install now. So, after you install tsocks your tsocks.conf file should look like the following: server = 127.0.0.1 server_type = 5 server_port = 1080 tordns_enable = falseWe're connecting through SSH, not a Tor network so we don't want to do DNS resolution through Tor. You will also note that I changed server_type to 5. OpenSSH can handle both versions of SOCKS and we might as well use the more recent one. This is not a necessary change. Further, there is no need to use the -L flag. We are using SOCKS which will handle everything for us. I can connect fine using the following: ssh -D 1080 USER@HOSTOther useful SSH flags to consider:
