SOCKS5 - Usage

Open JohnDotOwl opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

Does this work with SOCKS5 , i tried, doesn't seem to be working. I believe for SOCKS5 you gotta perhaps input the encryption type?

Yes, It does.
SOCKS5 is not an encrypted protocol.
But this app works based on the fact that the target process is already using the system's default "CERN" proxy setting (which is pointed at Fiddler/FiddlerCore). Hence, the utility is useful if the process does support CERN proxies but doesn't support, for instance, SOCKSv4a to route traffic over the TOR network.

We had a similar use case and created this tool which listen for SOCKS4a clients and forwards their traffic to a SOCKS5 server. As far as I can see, you can use this as an upstream proxy and then you will be able to use a SOCKS5 proxy with FiddlerCore.
