I would like to add authentication support to socksify and the code is all ready to go, based on #33 & #24 (thanks to @ojab & @musybite). What a need is a test case. Can someone please point me at somewhere where I can test socks authentication, thanks.
Hi @MatzFan! You can easily set up a local SOCKS proxy with authentication on any Linux server using via SSH. I've tailored these instructions for Ubuntu:
Make sure PasswordAuthentication yes
is in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
using sudo nano
, restart SSH with sudo systemctl restart ssh
or sudo service ssh restart
after making changes.
On your local machine, create the SOCKS-over-SSH proxy locally with ssh -D 1080 -f -C -q -N -p 22 <vps_username>@<vps_ip>
. When prompted for a password, use the VPS password.
This can also be done without using a VPS, if you run an ssh server on your local machine instead. It could be done with Github Actions I imagine too.
I hope this helps! Would love to see this merged as it's also blocking lostisland/faraday pull #992. Thank you for taking over this repo as maintainer!
Thanks @kornate, I'll look into doing this in Github actions and try and get a release out with authentication tested.
I'm trying to connect to a socks5 proxy that requires credentials. I'm using socksify-ruby but can't stop receiving this error
From what I read it's an authentication issue but I am unable to find the right syntax.
Currently I'm trying this:
I believe this is already supported however I would like if someone could tell me a request example Thanks in advance
