Please add support for SOCKS4a/5 proxies #31

Open aelmahmoudy opened 5 years ago

aelmahmoudy commented 5 years ago

Please add support for SOCKS4a/5 proxies, they are useful as they send DNS requests through the proxy. Browsing of .onion addresses wouldn't be possible without this support (except using socat workarounds, which is really ugly)

socksify is not sufficient?

rkd77 commented 5 years ago

SOCKS_SERVER=$somehost:$port socksify elinks --no-libevent socksify is part of dante-client package. I surely won't do it better.

socksify is not available here. I tried tsocks, but it failed.

I tried ssh -N -D 1080 localhost . In the second terminal: tsocks elinks --no-libevent and I was able to visit some sites.

what does this line do ? How does tsocks use port 1080 ?

were you able to visit .onion websites ?

I tried: SOCKS_PASSWORD=foo SOCKS5_SERVER=localhost:9050 socksify elinks --no-libevent --no-connect

yet it also doesn't work with *.onion websites

the problem is that DNS requests seem to not be routed through the socks proxy even though I am using socks5

You can try to disable async dns in elinks and run torsocks instead of socksify or tsocks.

Hi,

I just want to add that I've been using proxychains-ng with elinks/felinks successfully for a while now. Once there is a config file you only need to:

proxychains4 -q elinks

Different config files can be used with -f.

Hope this helps.
