It includes some code to provide NAT (Network Address Translation) -- which is another term for "masquerading." Please understand that some protocols (like talk) will not work properly through masquerading. Also, I suspect that NAT/masquerading produces a heavier load on the server than proxying (via SOCKS). I would suggest setting up proxying services -- deploying the clients for those -- and saving NAT for those services that can't run via SOCKS.
