How to send SSL traffic through an HTTP proxy using socat?

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – From the man page, socat allows me to open a TCP tunnel to the SSL target using the proxy option. Unfortunately, that is only half of the solution. Further research shows that socat2 addresses this usage case using address chains. However socat2 is still in beta and not yet readily available for a number of platforms. How can I send data (e.g. from stdin) to an SSL host through an HTTP proxy using socat1? (HowTos)

How we can create secure tunnels multicast with socat?

Assume we have a list of ip address, CIDR network addresses that we want to create secure tunnel to them.

I found this

socat STDIO UDP4-DATAGRAM:224.1.0.1:6666,range=192.168.10.0/24

but I want a secure tunnel and different adds with net addrs

I want to create script that give the IPs and net addresses and create secure tunnel

./myscript

I have a server running UDP server on port 50000. This server receives updates from clients, and pings back the clients every 5 seconds to the socket they were connected from.

Now I want to redirect all the traffic to and from this UDP server via another server. Basically I want to setup a transparent proxy in front of this server.

The man page to yum.conf describes several proxy related variables:

proxy URL to the proxy server that yum should use. proxy_username username to use for proxy proxy_password password for this proxy

But how to specify a SOCKS proxy?

I assume that the above is just for normal HTTP proxies ...

I'm more of a software developer than a networking guy so I'm a bit confused. Ultimately what I would like to do is to send all http traffic to a proxy server running on my raspberry pi that would then send the data to an ICAP server also running on the pi.

we found a new service that could be quite useful to monitor what is happening on our servers and in our applications. Problem is that it is SaaS, so we can't just install the tool on our servers, but have to send the data over the wire to the servers of the company. Additionally, the agent and daemon collecting and sending the data over aren't open source, so I can't just look at the code.

I got a great answer for my previous question about connecting from Machine A to Machine C via Socks proxy located on Machine B.

Say Machine B Ip is 218.62.97.105 and it is listening on port 1080

The command for that:

ssh -o ProxyCommand='socat - socks:218.62.97.105:HOST_C:21,socksport=1080'

I wonder if it is possible to make a chain from the socks proxies.

Consider scenario: Machine A ->

How do I tunnel SSH over SSH? 34 weeks 2 days ago

I have successfully setup a tunnel over SSH on linux mint, and can browse the web.

However, when I try to ssh using the same port, I get:

Couldn't establish connection to proxy: Network is unreachable ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

In my mate-network-properties I have selected manual proxy configuration, and socks host is 127.0.0.1

So why doesn't ssh use th

I am attempting to use nginx to create a server endpoint that can act as a dynamic proxy for an arbitrary endpoint.

The contract is:

http://{proxy-host}/p/{target-protocol}/{target-host}/{target-port}/{target-path}

For example, this url:

http://my.website.com/p/https/some.remote.api.com/8080/items

Should be proxied to:

https://some.remote.api.com:8080/items

However, I am getting a 404 No
