Transparent HTTP proxy client
Previous post, we know how to transparent SOCKS proxy with tsocks, dante, runsocks. But now my proxy server has change to HTTP(s) proxy (ex SQUID). Some apps like sylpheed, evolution wasn’t work well with it. I try to find out other tools. Finally, i got proxytunnel.I got linux binary and run without build it from source. It’s works fine.
Next, we make tunnel by it. For instance, i make tunnel to pop.gmail.com via port 995 by indirect connect to my host (localhost) via port 995.
$ proxytunnel
Proxytunnel 1.6.0Copyright 2001-2006 Proxytunnel ProjectJos Visser (Muppet) <josv@osp.nl>, Mark Janssen (Maniac) <maniac@maniac.nl>
We run it as deamon at port 995, proxy user is baysao, proxy password is pass, proxy server is zyx.hackers, server port is 3128.
So, command like this :
$ sudo proxytunnel -a 995 -u baysao -s pass -p zyx.hackers:3128 -d pop.gmail.com:995
Change mail client configure pop server is localhost:995. It will connect to pop.gmail.com:995.
