Hm found a nice open Java SOCKS library, I was able to hack something together in 20 lines.

DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is work in progress, I hacked it together in a bit under an hour. It should work, but I can't really test it as my natural connection is already less than 100ms. It does work in as much as it does relay connections fine. Also, as I'm not yet providing the source (follows as soon as I can clean it up and add some useful information) you cannot be sure I'm not trying to steal your account. I'm not, but you can't know. So only download and use it if for some strange reason you are trusting me and you want to help me test it. You should know how to install a Java Runtime Environment, if you don't have one already. Please provide feedback via PN if you try it out.

Here it is: EDIT: Updated the software and included source. See posting Server locations, Latency & Australia for download link.

Open up a command window (Start/Execute/"cmd"), navigate to the directory you put the jar-file into and simply enter "java -jar wowproxy.jar" Debug is a bit enabled so you should see something like this when any connection through the proxy is made:

Starting SOCKS Proxy on:0.0.0.0:1180
Accepted from:hostname.domainname.tld:3275
Request version:5       Command: CONNECT
IP:destination.domain.tld/333.222.444.444      Port:34522
Connected to destination.domain.tld/333.222.444.444:34522
[after closing the connection]
Aborting operation
Main thread(client->remote)stopped.
Support thread(remote->client) stopped

The proxy binds to port 1180. Download Freecap (available here: FreeCap Homepage - What is FreeCap? ) and set it up so that it uses localhost port 1180 (enter 127.0.0.1 or your machines' true IP address). Test it out. Does it help ? Do you have lower ping ? Or no change at all?

Anyway, it is at least easier to setup than VMWare

I need to logon for a raid now, might update it later tonight but I am interested in feedback in any case.

EDIT: Oh to close it, just press CTRL-C in the window you used to start it. You shouldn't do this while it is in use, though, for apparent reasons.
