[ubuntu] SOCKS proxy in Terminal

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Alright, so basically what I need is for the terminal to use a SOCKS (version 4) proxy. What I have is I used ssh to bind the connection to a port (I'm using 1337 just for testing purposes) and I have set my new SOCKS proxy to be the system wide proxy, but none of my applications are actually using it. I eventually got Firefox to use the proxy but manually changing the settings on Firefox to use the system-specified proxy. The reason I need this is more trying to share a printer over a proxy more than actually needed the terminal to run through the proxy. So overall my goal is to actually ma (HowTos)

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 ...

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.

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 ->

I connect to a remote ssh server by running this command:

ssh -D 12345 bob@myserver.com

This creates a socks proxy that I can use with Firefox to bypass censorship in my country. However, I can't take advantage of it to in the command line.

Let's say my country blocks access to youtube.

Well,all I ever wanted was to download and install an application from the terminal. And to my surprise I just can't I tried to reset proxy of the terminal by some commands but it doesn't happen and automatically switches back to this proxy 172.16.0.16 (which apparently was my college proxy). I checked in my system settings too..

I am using Ubuntu 11.10. In System Settings -> Network I can add a Socks proxy but it doesn't work with my UDP application or even Firefox (it just connects using my real IP). What do I need to do to send my UDP program's data through a proxy ?

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

[ubuntu] Proxy socks error! 2 years 22 weeks ago

I set socks5 proxy system> preferences> network middleman to connect through wifi to a router with Firewall may have to unlock something? ping is normal, but if you want to connect to the site by the browser it shows the error:

Code: Unable to connect to the proxy server.

A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary between your computer and other servers.

I'm looking to duplicate a testing setup for an application. We can't make a change to the application itself, but would like to route all of the application's data through a SOCKS proxy (likely Charles).

I'm envisioning a setup like:

I have separate machine "laptop" (with two interfaces) that I'd like to configure to act as a gateway, and route all traffic through the SOCKS proxy.
