Hello,

It would be cool/handy if future versions of ethereal have "SOCKS protocol
version 5" support.

The "SOCKS protocol version 5" protocol supports the "UDP protocol".

With "SOCKS protocol version 5" it is possible to "connect" to "SOCKS 5
proxy servers" which are able to forward UDP packets to/from clients behind
either side of the proxy server.

Here is a list of public SOCKS 5 proxy servers:

P.S. I am not subscribed to the list so please CC any replies if you wish to

Bye,
  Skybuck.
