It *does* solve the problem.  If you find a route to net 10 (or 172.16,
or 192.168.X) on any backbone, you've found a martian net, and you 
should endevor to shoot arrows at its network provider.  (Or whomever
is advertising the route.)

Since you're using socks, sites on the internet should only see the 
'external' interface of the host that socks is running on.
