Hi,

I understand I'm becoming annoying but it worked, but maybe I was on
drugs... Unfortunatelly no evidence in hand now :) I tested like this:

* ssh -D9999 remotehost
* redsocks listening on 127.0.0.1:12345 and redirecting to
  127.0.0.1:9999
* pf redirecting www to 127.0.0.1:12345
* lynx ipid.shat.net

Finally I saw in lynx IP of remote ssh socks5 tunnel.

Any idea how to redirect outgoing traffic to local port?

Would this be hard to add such funcionality into PF? (I don't like
such comparisons but it can be done on other OS.)

This feature would be handy to people doing system-wide socksifying (I
already saw apps which spawned another apps and thus it was not
socksified), or people who want to run almost everything via Tor or
similar anonymizing networks -- I think it's better to socksify Tor
traffic on OS level because one can misconfigure his application).

Thank you for help!
