socks5 support
Hi,
This PR extends proxy support for SOCKS5. It's based on the existing proxy code and was tested with both danted and tor proxies. No support for GSSAPI so only no auth and basic auth.
Hi @glslang, your commit is extremely interesting for me. I need a solution to communicate over the tor network. I hope this will be merged. May I ask you for some example code that shows how to use socks5 proxies for the client?
Best regards
Hi, It's currently in use here https://github.com/Blockstream/gdk albeit over autobahn. But it should be straightforward to understand how to use it. Let me know if not.
Great, thank you very much. I will try this at the end of the week and let you know!
@glslang I have finally found some time to test your solution. It works like a charm! Thank you very much for this contribution and your assistance!
Hi, Great to hear. Thank you for taking the time to try it!
great job
