Proxychains
proxychains is a very useful program if you're interested in using the
CONNECT method to communicate between the endpoints. It is
very common for example, for the proxy server to interfere with what
you're sending through it, whilst the CONNECT method often
passes data freely.
Obviously, if you're using a proxy server that is in the wild you may prefer not to do this with plain text traffic (such as that which is normally used on port 80 or 21).
quick setup
A simple configuration might look like this, which I have stored in
~/.proxychains/proxychains.conf:
tcp_read_time_out 15000 tcp_connect_time_out 8000 [ProxyList] # type address port user pass # socks5 1.2.3.4 1080 elite secret # socks4 1.2.3.4 1085 elite secret http 212.118.224.151 80
quick usage
proxychains uses LD_PRELOAD to intercept
network read/writes and send them off to the defined proxy connects.
In order to wrap a program within the proxychains routines you will need to execute it in a manner like below:
$ proxychains ~/bin/epiphany/bin/epiphany
