Integrate socks into sandbox

Post by Jack » Tue Aug 19, 2008 5:51 am

I have a feature suggest, not a simple one :D

There is an abadonware program called SocksCap, it starts applications from inside it like sandboxie placing hooks to the started process and it redirects all network traffic trough a Socks v4 or v5. Unfortunately this program is abandoned: last version has a timelimit and need a crack (on a free program, nice).

Why don't add this feature into sandboxie, so optionally all network traffic generated from inside a sandbox goes directly to a socks?

It may be useful in combination with Tor, so if a program is started from a socked sandboxie, the traffic goes out from tor and the application can't infest the computer!

Of course there may be the need to configure a sandbox as socks only, without sandbox it.

I know this is a huge work, but it may be a useful feature :)

Thank you
Jack

Going by what I understand according to your description of SocksCap: You could just run SocksCap sandboxed and let it run your browser.

Would running it sandboxed even work? I imagine it uses many drivers and services?
