Socks Proxy Support

[joed...@gmail.com]

So I was reading the README and it says that it does not anonomize the data that is being transfered. Would it be possible to add support for a socks proxy? this way it could be used with tor or i2p to do just that.

p.s. Hoping people really get behind this, having a FOSS sync replacement or successor FTW.

Its a good point. Please create a ticket for this.

Is it possible to receive an incoming connection via socks proxy?
Otherwise this might not be useful except in limited circumstances.

it depends on what you are talking about incoming connections and how the application will work.

if the application first establishes a connection with the peer or server (that is not behind a proxy), then it can accept packets coming back to it. (so syn -> syn-ack ->ack .. etc). A good example of this in action is yacy, when you enable a proxy for yacy to yacy communication.

if the application is just listening like a server (behind a proxy) then you would need the assistance of say something like a a tor hidden service or an i2p eepsite. A great example is of this one user that used btsync and used it to connect through the i2p network.
