http://unix.stackexchange.com – I've been trying to use a SOCKS Proxy which I have been using with success from an Ubuntu 11.4 box with GNOME on my Debian box with KDE.The socks server is bound to the local port 1080 through the following ssh command: ssh -p222 -D 1080 <my_username>@socks_server_domain_name Following the advice I found here: http://emilsedgh.info/blog/index.php?/archives/14-SOCKS-proxy-on-KDE.html I edited my ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc file and now it looks like this: jason@debian-laptop:~$ cat ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc PersistentProxyConnection=true [$Version] socksProxy=socks://localhos (HowTos)

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 ->

If you have difficulty browsing on your Linux workstation at work, say, because of filters and such, this will make your day. One other thing is that you need a Linux server that is outside your network at work. Once you have this, you can use ssh to create a socks proxy.

Alright, so basically what I need is for the terminal to use a SOCKS (version 4) proxy.

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 ...

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.

I'm currently using SSH as a SOCKS proxy and have multiple users connecting to it like this:

PC WEB BROWSER --> SSH SERVER (SOCKS) --> Internet

but I want to do this:

PC WEB BROWSER --> SSH SERVER (SOCKS) --> SSH SERVER 2 --> Internet

So how do I proxy web traffic from an existing SSH SOCKS server to another one?

Duplicate : Using proxy, using curl, working on localhost but not on server but unanswered and I've already tried what it says, no use.

I tried connecting to my dedicated server through SSH and tried using socks/http proxies both, but both of them return error 7.

Exist a way to convert a local socks proxy into a local interface? My problem is that some application don't have the possibility to specify a socks proxy, and I need that all my communication pass through my local socks proxy.

Hi all,I'm trying to channel all my traffic through tor but KDE doesn't seem to recognize my proxy settings. To set up the proxy, I went to System Settings -> Network Settings -> Proxy -> Use manually specified proxy configuration and set the value of SOCKS proxy to socks://localhost, PORT to 9050.
