How do I add SOCKS support to my application? and where can i get libs?

You can try Boost.Asio . It contains an example implementation of the SOCKS4 protocol.
VC ++ has extensive support if you want to try it on Windows.
Google "Windows Sockets for Beginners msdn", great info for window sockets ...
If linux try C sockets over beej ... Just google beej guide for sockets ...
