[alarmic]

same question

[keunes]

Think I'm having the same issue: With auth, AntennaPod gives "authentication failed". (Without auth, it works fine.) Curl also gives an error:

$ curl --socks5 xxx.x.xx.xx:8888 -U keunes:password http://ifcfg.co
curl: (7) Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to 0.0.0.0:0. (4)

Now considering whether it's safe enough to run without auth on a non-default port. And if there's any way we can (help) debug this?

[serjs]

@keunes Please provide server logs when you receive curl: (7) Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to 0.0.0.0:0. (4) error on client side. In addition, run curl with verbose logging. Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to 0.0.0.0:0. (4) - mostly on server side, but what exactly is going on - I haven't details.

Also, try to run http://ifcfg.co from host, maybe there are some DNS or Time Sync issues where server can't handle you request

Hi @serjs,

Many thanks. From my laptop:

Same problem here

[Drugoy]

If you are using auth - then it's an issue with Chrome, that doesn't support auth with SOCKS5 proxies: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=256785 (info found here)

[InstaZDLL]

I have the same problem with the FoxyProxy extension when authentication is enabled, The only place this has worked is TorBrowser. ( No supported authentication mechanism )

[keunes]

Hi @alexng353 Sorry to tag you here. I saw you replied on the other issue related to authentication and even prepared a PR. So I was wondering - does 'regular' authentication work for you? Any idea about the issue we're experiencing here?

[alexng353]

does 'regular' authentication work for you?

Yeah, it works just fine for me. I've deployed the docker image with the following options:

docker run -d --name socks5 -p 1080:1080 -e PROXY_USER=MY_USERNAME -e PROXY_PASSWORD=MY_PASSWORD serjs/go-socks5-proxy

Running this test command yields a good download speed of roughly 300mbps on my shitty vps

curl --socks5-hostname MY_SERVER_CONNECT_URL -k -L https://bit.ly/1GB-testfile -o /dev/null

Two things are interesting and come to mind about this project.

1. This repository is mostly dead
2. The core dependency of this project https://github.com/armon/go-socks5, is also dead

It might be time to move on and create a new one-click deployable socks5 proxy written in golang, especially if this project is completely dead.

[alexng353]

On a somewhat related but also not related, do you guys just not care about leaking your/your server's IP addresses? I mean I know that you can't do that much with an IP address but generally, its bad practice to leak it.

[Drugoy]

@alexng353 Do you know of an alternative project that provides a similar functionality (and preferably compiles into a single binary as well) that doesn't leak your IP? Please, let me know if you do. We all have noticed that unfortunately this project was abandoned. :(

[alexng353]

that doesn't leak your IP?

Potentially you misunderstood my comment? What I meant was that some people were posting screenshots of their configuration/console with intact IP addresses unblurred. I do not currently have an alternative project that provides similar functionality but I am working on one and should be done in a few days

https://github.com/alexng353/ihostproxy

Self-hosted proxy written in golang, heavily inspired by this project. I don't know if it's going to be 10 million download material, but it will surely work.

[keunes]

I also misunderstood the comment about leaking IP addresses @alexng353. Thanks for raising this issue.

I am working on one and should be done in a few days

Awesome that you're creating and sharing this. Will keep a look out on your progress.

[Drugoy]

I thought you've found IP proxy client's IP leakage with this project, because some sites that I visited via this proxy detected me using a proxy (and I thought they could also had detected my client's IP) and refused services.

[alexng353]

and I thought they could also had detected my client's IP

To be honest I am not familiar enough with SOCKS5 or proxies in general to tell you whether or not they will be able to detect your client IP through this proxy.

[alexng353]

Will keep a look out on your progress.

The proxy part already works. I'm working on IP whitelisting for connections and FQDN support after I read about what fqdn is and how it gets used in this serjs's project
