Support IPv6

Open Roguelazer opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

It's amazing that this library doesn't natively support IPv6, either on the connection to the proxy or through the proxy. You can kind of hack it up for the connection to the proxy server by passing AF_INET6 as the first argument to the socksocket constructor, but it still breaks and doesn't at all support IPv6 servers.

Why does this even subclass socket? If I rewrote this to no longer subclass socket and properly support IPv6, would there be interest?

I guess for better monkey patch compatibility/it is intended as a compatible replacement for socket

I find the way to solve ipv6 socks5 proxy. refer to: https://github.com/woo200/sockslib/issues/1#issuecomment-1634545042

The author of sockslib was very kind and helped me solve this problem.
