Bug ID: 1285873
           Summary: request to include redsocks in repo
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: Package Review
          Assignee: nobody@fedoraproject.org
          Reporter: akostadi@redhat.com

redsocks package - http://darkk.net.ru/redsocks/
A very useful tool to get traffic tunnelled through a http connect proxy or
socks4/5 server selectively.
Basically it runs as a local daemon. Administrator can DNAT particular TCP
(limited DNS and UDP support) traffic to the port daemon is listening to. Then
daemon does the magic to tunnel it through proxy or socks (depending on
config). Priceless when applications do not support socks/proxy or wanting to
redirect VM traffic through particular channel without prior knowledge what app
will be running inside, etc. many more usage scenarios.
Debian already has a package. I tried `alien` over the debian testing package +
`rpmrebuild -pe` to remove directory entries like `/`, `/lib/`, etc. After that
everything seems to be working as expected. Including `systemd` integration. So
I hope it wont be hard to include in fedora.
