Testcase:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
apt-get install tsocks

export TSOCKS_CONF_FILE="$HOME/.tsocks.conf"

cat - >"$HOME/.tsocks.conf" <<EOF
server = 127.0.0.1
server_port = 1080
server_type = 5
local = 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0
local = 172.16.0.0/255.240.0.0
local = 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
EOF

ssh localhost -D 1080

<start tcpdump on favorite network interface>

tsocks svn co http://opkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
