To me personally, this is a slam dunk, we should remove it. There are better SOCKS proxies out there, and we (the ATS community) have no idea if we are a secure with our implementation as we’d want to be. Carrying on with this legacy service in ATS is just a burden. Of course, as usual, if someone wants to continue the active support of this code base, please speak up. I’m hugely +1 on removing this. — Leif
