I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I can't seem to be able to get tsocks, or proxychains working.
I set up a socks server virtue of ssh dynamic port forwarding: $ ssh -D localhost:12465 [email protected] Then I run: $ . tsocks on $ tsocks sh LD_PRELOAD="/lib/libtsocks.so" $ tsocks firefox or tsocks kmail, or tsocks <anything else>. The connection is not sent out via the server on 10.10.10.12. The terminal that ran tsocks does not reveal anything in terms of a connection taking place, at least not when I run firefox. With Chromium things are more revealing: $ . tsocks on $ tsocks sh LD_PRELOAD="/lib/libtsocks.so" $ tsocks chromium [4591:4604:405018909:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(239)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libtsocks.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. Exporting like this, also fails to load it for chromium: $ export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libtsocks.so $ tsocks sh LD_PRELOAD="/lib/libtsocks.so" $ tsocks chromium [5052:5065:973215173:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(239)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib/libtsocks.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. If I set up socks within the firefox application Advanced/Network settings, without using tsocks, the connection succeeds through the ssh tunnel. Therefore I am confident that the tunnel itself is working as a socks5 server. This is what I have in /etc/socks/tsocks.conf server = 127.0.0.1 server_type = 5 server_port = 12465 Similarly, I get no connection if I use proxychains. Any idea what I am doing wrong here? -- Regards, Mick
