HTTP proxy?

Open ahmedtds opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

Hi

Why you only support SOCKS5 proxy?

Is it not possible to use a HTTP/HTTPS proxy?

Because SOCKS5 proxy is a bit simpler, and I don't plan to spend much time on this project in the future. You could try the following wonderful projects that convert HTTP/HTTPS proxy to a SOCKS5 proxy:

  • https://github.com/Equim-chan/h2s
  • https://github.com/oyyd/http-proxy-to-socks
  • https://github.com/haxii/socks-over-https
  • ...

Or PRs welcome!

HTTP CONNECT is very simple to support

This project does the reverse: it converts a socks proxy into a http one, which is not suitable.

In case it helps someone, I was able to use an HTTP proxy as SOCKS proxy with proxychains on Windows in VirtualBox (host-only adapter) by setting up Dante SOCKS server on my Linux host computer which can forward the traffic to the HTTP proxy.
