ptproxy and shadowsocks?

[g18z0n]

i'm trying to make ptproxy talk with shadowsocks for using with firefox browser but is not working.

at the moment i'm testing locally following this guide http://www.jimgray.tk/2016/04/12/ptproxy/

$ bin/obfs4proxy -version
obfs4proxy-0.0.7-dev

$ ssserver -c shadowsocks_server.json
{
    "server":"127.0.0.1",
    "server_port":8077,
    "local_address": "127.0.0.1",
    "local_port":8078,
    "password":"gh1Tsy71nw",
    "timeout":300,
    "method":"aes-256-cfb",
    "fast_open":false
}

$ python3 ./ptproxy.py ptproxy_server.json
{
    "role": "server",
    "state": "./pts_state",
    "local": "127.0.0.1:8077",
    "server": "127.0.0.1:8078",
    "ptexec": "bin/obfs4proxy -logLevel=ERROR -enableLogging=true",
    "ptname": "obfs4",
    "ptargs": "cert=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA;iat-mode=0",
    "ptserveropt": "",
    "ptproxy": ""
}

$ python3 ./ptproxy.py ptproxy_client.json
{
    "role": "client",
    "state": "./ptc_state",
    "local": "127.0.0.1:8079",
    "server": "127.0.0.1:8078",
    "ptexec": "bin/obfs4proxy -logLevel=ERROR -enableLogging=true",
    "ptname": "obfs4",
    "ptargs": "cert=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA;iat-mode=0",
    "ptserveropt": "",
    "ptproxy": ""
}

$ sslocal -c shadowsocks_client.json
{
    "server":"127.0.0.1",
    "server_port":8079,
    "local_address": "127.0.0.1",
    "local_port":8080,
    "password":"gh1Tsy71nw",
    "timeout":300,
    "method":"aes-256-cfb",
    "fast_open":false
}

$ netstat -ptln

i tried changing shadowsocks server local port to 8080 (browser), 8078 and 8079 but nothing works, i get this kind of errors:

could you help me out? how do you use ptproxy as a browser proxy? thanks!

You'll have to change ptargs argument in ptproxy client config file, as once the ptproxy server runs, it prints a cert for you.

oh my mistake, it has connected now, though the website detected the proxy anyway...

but thanks @KexyBiscuit
