i don't see any benefit from running yet another c program on my
computer... why not run something like Yawning's or-ctl-filter between
your tor and tbb? at least it's written in a safer language and does
useful things like filter OR commands:
https://github.com/Yawning/or-ctl-filter
anyone who knows golang could easily write more socks servers and
clients; super easy!
also python would be an even better choice from the perspective of
language safety and their are a few socks (twisted) client and server
libraries you can use.
