proxy not working? #294

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install and set up tor and privoxy 
2. .newsbeuter/config: proxy localhost:9050, proxy-type socks4a
3. start newsbeuter and reload

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
tcpdump sais it connects directly, bypassing the proxy setting

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.5. Ubuntu.

Please provide any additional information below.
"torsocks" works, the internal setting not.

Do you have "use-proxy yes" specified in .newsbeuter/config?

D'oh, this one is on me.

How about adding this to the "proxy" config section in the man-page?
Or enabling this by default when "proxy is set"?

This brings the next problem though. If fails with "proxy-type socks4a"

Works with socks4 and socks5, but both leak DNS.

Unfortunately, this is still the case.
socks4 and socks5 leak DNS, and socks4a fails.
