Constructor Details

#new(host, port) ⇒ Object

Opens a SOCKS connection to host via the SOCKS server.

The SOCKS server configuration varies by implementation

When using the Dante libsocks/libsocksd implementation it is configured as SOCKS_SERVER env var.

See: manpages.debian.org/testing/dante-client/socksify.1.en.html for full env variable support.
