Title: CVS tarballs now have proxy support!
Post by: phoenix on February 17, 2005, 12:14:26 PM

Hi Folks!

Current CVS snapshot tarballs now have working proxy support. Proxy types supported are SOCKS5, SOCKS4 and HTTP. Notice that when using proxy in a real situation, i.e., no external internet access, you will be lowid, even with SOCKS5 proxy. This is due to the way SOCKS{4,5} protocol was designed to handle incomming connections. But hey, you got from nothing to lowid, that's an improovement! ;)

On the other hand, SOCKS5 aMule code supports UDP, so if your SOCKS5 server has UDP support enabled, you get a lowid on steroids. :D

We need people to test this feature, so that we can guarantee a bug free aMule 2.0.0 final. Please, test and report any problems, we will be glad to fix any issues.

Cheers!

Hinnerk,

Yes, remember to set the proxy type on aMule to SOCKS4, sshd does not support SOCKS5.

Cheers!

hmm, my ssh manpage tells me:

Quote

Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh will act as a SOCKS server.

afair ssh does not support socks4a (socks incl. dns)

i will check that later!

I think dns isn't needed. Except for the serverlist, but I think their will bne a workaround.
