Transparent SOCKS proxy (server side)?
Hi, My ISP's NAT, unfortunately, does not work more than it does. This is a problem as I need to provide 'direct' internet access for the computers inside my network. I would like to set up a transparent SOCKS proxy (similar to transparent HTTP proxy, aka squid) on the server. Does anyone know how to do this (and which ports to use)? This needs to be a server side solution since I am unable to implement this on the clients... I know there is a Linux specific program that does this, called KSB [http://ksb.sourceforge.net] that looks like what I would like, except the wrong OS :-( Regards David signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The way I think of it is similar to NAT (in the capturing of traffic)? Or am I missing something?

I could see how rdr (which I understand to be the same as NAT?) could work, except it needs to be redirected to a program that then routes the traffic through the socks server? I have not been able to find such a program (and the above socks clients only act as a wrapper for other programs?). Perhaps a simple program that gets the redirected incoming traffic [like squid does] but then just connects to the destination server (with a socks wrapper doing the routing through the socks server)??? Or just a socks based solution?

SOCKS V5 proxy for http_proxy Environmental variable
I am attempting to set the http_proxy environmental variable to a SOCKS 5 proxy server that is really an SSH tunnel to a server outside the network. When I execute the fetch command it is failing with this error message; bc007776# fetch -v ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz looking up 127.0.0.1 connecting to 127.0.0.1:8080 requesting ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz fetch: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz: Unknown error: 0 Is this supported? -- Mark Jacobs Technical Services Time Customer Service - Tampa, FL -- The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.

I don't think so, and if it were, I doubt it would be supported through though the http_proxy variable. Do you not have access to an external http_proxy via the ssh tunnel? That's the way this kind of thing normally works. Failing that, if this is for ports building, you might want to look into using curl instead of fetch in your FETCH_CMD as it appears to support SOCKS 5. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Don't know about socks4, but: Also nylon and dante, which don't have the annoying license problems that the socks5 reference implementation does, and seem to be more actively maintained.

Its a xchat prob. You should set the proxy setting of xchat. Check out the Settings-Preferences-Network-Network Setup. xchat supports HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and Wingate proxy.
