SOCKS5 - Usage

[JohnDotOwl]

Hi,

Does this work with SOCKS5 , i tried, doesn't seem to be working. I believe for SOCKS5 you gotta perhaps input the encryption type?

• Yes, It does.
• SOCKS5 is not an encrypted protocol.
• But this app works based on the fact that the target process is already using the system's default "CERN" proxy setting (which is pointed at Fiddler/FiddlerCore). Hence, the utility is useful if the process does support CERN proxies but doesn't support, for instance, SOCKSv4a to route traffic over the TOR network.

We had a similar use case and created this tool which listen for SOCKS4a clients and forwards their traffic to a SOCKS5 server. As far as I can see, you can use this as an upstream proxy and then you will be able to use a SOCKS5 proxy with FiddlerCore.
