http://linuxaria.com – SOCKet Secure (SOCKS) is an Internet protocol that routes network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. SOCKS5 additionally provides authentication so only authorized users may access a server. Practically, a SOCKS server will proxy TCP connections to an arbitrary IP address as well as providing a means for UDP packets to be forwarded. (HowTos)

I have currently setup a SOCKS5 proxy by creating a SSH Tunnel on a local Ubuntu server to a Linux based VPS. I use polipo as a small proxy to pass the requests through the SOCKS5 proxy (DNS Resolution happens on the VPS side.)

Now, on the client end I use firefox and have an addon which has...

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 would like to setup two transparent proxy server that use Ubuntu Server and Squid as transparent proxy. My idea is to synchronize the cache between Proxy 1 and proxy 2. so both Proxy server will have same cache inside them. I wish to use Rsync that is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer.

Currently I create a ssh tunnel using: ssh user@server -D 1234 to use SOCKS proxy. How do I configure server so I can directly connect to socks server?

I want to set firefox socks host to server ip and port, instead of 127.0.0.1 and the port specified with -D parameter.

Squid as Socks5 Proxy server 1 year 17 weeks ago

One of my friends lives in a country which they censor websites and they are fighting with techniques that people use to bypass the censorship.

He told me that the only way that he can bypass the censorship now is using SOCKS proxy (that country blocked VPN and SSH connections to outside the world)

I configured a web HTTP-Proxy server with Squid by the steps in this tutorial : http://www.howtofo
