How to connect through an HTTP proxy?

[hillz2]

In psiphon on android we can connect to a server via an HTTP proxy like this, how do we do it here ?

[tanmaytat11]

This python client creates a socks proxy so if you want to create a HTTP proxy, you must use an application that converts the socks to a HTTP proxy. Maybe that will work try it.

I'm sorry but I don't think you get it. I'm not trying to create an HTTP proxy. I'm trying to connect to a psiphon server through an HTTP proxy. Just like when you use the option http-proxy on OpenVPN to connect to a VPN server

@hillz2 I have used redsocks and corkscrew for that matter. With redsocks you set up a transparent proxy in your machine. With corkscrew you can wrap up the internal ssh connection used by psiphon through an http proxy like squid. Tell me about your environment if you need more details.

My main goal is to run this on openwrt, but right now I'm just trying to get this to work on my manjaro pc. Can you please tell me step by step on how to do that?

[gilcu3]

Manjaro :) nice!! I need to know the type of proxy you need to authenticate to, for example to check if it's compatible with corckscrew (only basic auth in the official version). Else we must use redsocks (I advise this fork which currently works in archlinux).

HTTP proxy

[hillz2]

With no authenticaton

[gilcu3]

then you could use corkscrew as is :) Install corkscrew from the repo, then look for the ssh line in the psiphon python code (in file psi_ssh_connection.py) and add the parameter for corkscrew as explained in the corresponding README.

Thanks I'll do that when I get home, I'm replying your comments on my phone right now, reports later

[hillz2]

Thanks @gilcu3 I found it, they're in command_line functions. Another question, is it possible to use this script with the current version of openssh ? It's a bit of a security concern for me to downgrade openssh to version 5.

[gilcu3]

I use it with the bundled openssh code, but you should try it, it's not hard to modify the same python code to achieve it.
