Has anyone gotten proxychains to work?

Proxychains is an application that lets you run any program through a proxy.

I've been trying to get it to work with the IITB network, but not succeeding (some DNS issues I think). Most of the resources on the internet are about using it with the Tor SOCKS proxy.

Has anyone gotten it to work with netmon?

it used to work like a charm, but you have to setup the environment properly (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, IIRC)

Exactly what is to be done? Any links? I've tried messing around with proxychains and proxychains4. Can't get them to work. I'd rather not chain with an external proxy, I want proxychains to just force the app through netmon.

netmon isn't the only proxy server in the institute, or is it?

Tried with cse, tried with a local squid server. Local squid works fine when placed directly in firefox's proxy settings. When I run `proxychains firefox` (and open Google), I get:

|S-chain|-<>-127.0.0.1:3128-<><>-74.125.236.114:80-<--denied

With proxychains4, I get 

[proxychains] Strict chain  ...  127.0.0.1:3128  ...  74.125.236.115:80 <--denied

The proxy conf file is:

strict_chain

#proxy_dns

remote_dns_subnet 224

tcp_read_time_out 15000

tcp_connect_time_out 8000

localnet 10.0.0.1/255.0.0.0

[ProxyList]

http 127.0.0.1 3128

When proxy_dns is uncommented, firefox still doesn't work, though I get no output on the command line.

interesting, we would simply chain the local Socks with dept (w/o auth?) proxy and it would work. see if you can dig more in the verbose/debug mode of proxychains

ohh, i just remembered, proxy chains has its own resolv conf file which lives in the /usr/lib/proxychains. I don't remember its name, but try and put 10.200.1.11 there and see if it works out

Nope, still not working.

You're talking about a local SOCKS proxy (squid only does http), how would I make that? Is there a SOCKS proxy in the insti? Or are you talking about a normal ssh socks tunnel?

Tried using 

socks4 127.0.0.1 8888

http netmon.iitb.ac.in .......

after opening an ssh SOCKS proxy on port 8888. Still not working.

somebody pls unsubscribe me from this group and its updates... pls

@ramprasad

prey, can you please send an email to wncc_iitb+...@googlegroups.com ?

I am quite sure this group is not meant for people who find it challenging to unsubscribe from it

I can only imagine how you found your way in

@Manish

divide an conquer!

try with plain simple http 10.200.13.50 80

avoid domain names, use IP addresses (much better anyways)

if it works, chain your dept proxy, and so on and on

then look into dns resolution problem, I always forward the request

as for the socks proxy; i think they stopped working a while ago (a year?)

or there is no need for them (one can directly ssh outside now, or so I have been told)

proxychain will not work for a proxy which can not work on its own

BTW, just curious, you seem to know your way around the network already

so are you just poking around for fun or you have something else in mind?

maybe there's alternative (tsocks?) which might do the trick for you

of course, this is all within the boundaries of firewalls and proxies, right? :P

@simple http 10.200.13.50 been there, done that. Firefox doesn't work. Why would I chain it with other proxies? And I don't have a department login yet (I tried using mars ids on the cse proxy--doesn't work. And I don't have a phy account).

@ssh Yep, direct SSH (well, SSH via netmon) outside the insti is allowed now--I use it to access the Wikimedia Toolserver. I tried SOCKSing it (ssh -D) --proxychains still doesn't work, but tsocks does. Issue is, I need to use tsocks/proxychains for Google Music Manager, and I'll be downloading/uploading heavily. I'd rather not do that through my Wikipedia ssh account, it's not really for personal use.

@network Well, I'd like to get all my applications working through the proxy, that's all :) But I'm poking around for fun as well :)
