Hey,

I have Wine installed and World of Warcraft. In order for me to play I have to somehow route wow.exe to a SOCKS server.

I used to use FreeCap on Windows and Putty.

On my Ubuntu 7.10 box I have opened an SSH connection and started a server,

ssh -D 1080 user@myhost

It connects fine and I can tunnel my apps to this, Firefox etc.


I have installed tsocks and tried to run

tsocks
wine wow.exe

I have configured tsocks to;
server = 127.0.0.1
server_port = 1080

I assume its not working because Wine doesnt support the tsocks command.

Is there anyway to make Wine tunnel requests to my local SOCKS server?

Thanks

Robert
