[Issue] Outfox integration : SOCKS5 proxy ignore outfox flag in config file

Open simonwicky opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Describe the issue A SOCKS5 proxy with packet_type = 'outfox' in the config file will still send sphinx packets.

Expected behaviour Without any overriding instructions, a SOCKS5 proxy with such a config file should send outfox packets.

Steps to Reproduce Set up a SOCKS5 proxy with packet_type = 'outfox', and route traffic through it. The debug log will display Sphinx packets being sent.

Issue cause The run command from the SOCKS5 proxy accepts an --outfox flag. Its presence will cause the config to be overridden and to send outfox packets, which is expected. However, its absence will also cause a config override, and sphinx packets will be sent. This behaviour is not expected and very counter intuitive.
