socksify looks like an HTTP proxy and so would only work for web browser requests, or applications that can use SOCKs proxies. I don't think Full Tilt or Stars can do that?

SOCKS is short for sockets, therefore any TCP/IP protocol can be used, therefore you can connect to any external network. Poker sites are external networks, therefore you can use SOCKS to connect to poker sites.

china is pretty good about shutting down proxy access, whether web-based or http

i've run some web-based proxies that got a lot of traffic from china that died suddenly. I'm about 95% sure that any major proxy that advertises is already blocked
