Have a look at Proxybound as well https://github.com/Intika-Linux-Proxy/Proxybound it’s based on proxychain with some additional features

Is it possible for any of the above (tsocks or proxychains) to set the socks ip:port as an argument when running them in the command line ? Thank you

In reply to Dominic.

if you want to use the campus proxy, then no need to start tor.

tsocks has to be configured with the ip address and port number of the proxy. fill the correct values for the fields “server” , “server_type” and “server_port”. if its a socks5 proxy then server_type should be 5 and if its a socks4 proxy then server_type would be 4.

then running the program like this should work

tsocks ./client_name

Hi,

I have to allow a client to connect through a campus proxy. I am not entirely sure of your steps… would the following be correct?

1. server proxy.name.cs.xy.ac
2. server_type ? I don’t know what to speciy here
3. server_port proxy_port_#

I then use TOR to start a socks proxy on port 9050, and finally at command line I start my client with:

tsocks ./client_name
