Zekr with proxy or TOR

[Carlos Luna]

Salam Aleikom!
Mi ISP is blocking some web pages one of them is versebyversequran.com
so I do not have online recitations, My question is May I use Zekr
with TOR or some proxy to avoid the blocking? How?

Wa Alaikumassalaam wr,

You may set network proxy for Zekr. Just set proxy settings inside ~/.zekr/config/config.properties. By default Zekr uses system default proxy, which is meaningful in some Linux distributions and inherits IE settings in Windows.

If you want to change it manually, here is the setting:

# Network settings

# network.proxy.internal.disableJvmUseSystemProxy = false

# can be 'system' (system default proxy), 'manual' (should be set manually below) or 'false' for no proxy.

network.proxy = system

# set the following properties only if network.proxy is set to 'manual'

network.proxy.server = 

network.proxy.port = 

# can be HTTP or SOCKS

network.proxy.type = HTTP

As far as I know TOR only supports SOCKS proxy, not HTTP proxy, so you may have to set network.proxy.type = SOCKS. I didn't test if it works properly with SOCKS or not, but virtually it should work. I've probably tested it against HTTP proxy and worked fine.

Regards,

Mohsen

Salaam Alekum Bro:

You can replace the name of site with its actual ip if the site supports it meaning the name server for that site is configure to allow by IP.  I tried but didn't work: I haven't tried the following but give this a try similar to ISPs blocking piratebay:

For others that would like to use the Google Cache trick I mentioned earlier here is a write up about using Google to bypass the internet provider block:

I have edited my config.properties file and this is how its look

# Network settings
# network.proxy.internal.disableJvmUseSystemProxy = false
# can be 'system' (system default proxy), 'manual' (should be set
manually below) or 'false' for no proxy.
network.proxy = system
# set the following properties only if network.proxy is set to 'manual'
network.proxy.server =
network.proxy.port =
# can be HTTP or SOCKS

network.proxy.type = SOCKS

But the online recitations keep without conection.

Salaam,

When you set network.proxy to 'system', Java should detect your system proxy which is set on Linux, globally in network adapter configuration. If it cannot be detected, use 'manual' option and fill network.proxy.server and network.proxy.port according to you proxy settings.

I have edited my config.properties file and this is how it looks:

# Network settings
# network.proxy.internal.disableJvmUseSystemProxy = false
# can be 'system' (system default proxy), 'manual' (should be set
manually below) or 'false' for no proxy.

network.proxy = manual

# set the following properties only if network.proxy is set to 'manual'

network.proxy.server = 91.202.164.29
network.proxy.port = 8080

# can be HTTP or SOCKS

network.proxy.type = HTTP

And now it works.

Alaih wafa!
