Hello

I wanted to tunnel all TCP connections of a Ruby program through the Tor  
anonymizing proxy. Instead of using tsocks (which is OS depending and  
leaks DNS) I modified TCPSocket directly. Example usage can be seen in  
the lame & only test case.

Get the code with:  
git-clone [http://cthulhu.c3d2.de/~astro/git/socksify-ruby.git](http://cthulhu.c3d2.de/~astro/git/socksify-ruby.git)
