Use ConnectBot VX as a socks5 proxy #72

Open tnemeth opened 11 years ago

tnemeth commented 11 years ago

Hi.

I often use ssh as a socks5 proxy at work or in public places to evade firewalls and crypt my transmissions, using : ssh -D 8080 remote-host -N

Would it be possible to use ConnectBot VX the same way ?

Thanks

This already works:

  • Long-press a host entry.
  • Select Edit port forwards
  • Press , select Add port forward
  • Select "Dynamic (SOCKS)" for type, fill in source port and optionally nickname, leave destination blank

Enjoy :)

Oops :)
Indeed port forwarding was "hidden"... That's a wonderfull thing it's
present ! Thanks a lot !

BTW do you know a good FLOSS proxy application that can make use of
this port forwarding ?

Switching from connectbot to vx connectbot has been a good thing !

It's a shame I still have to set my proxy settings in FF using
about:config :)
