Proxy socks.conf location??

by Jason Templ » Thu, 07 Nov 1996 04:00:00

Greetings,
I am setting up a 2 node lan in my apt, and am setting up a
firewall/proxy server to handle all communications to/from my ISP. I
have set the firewall properly, and when configuring the proxy server
(sockd), the HOWTO reads:

place the socks.conf every machine behind the firewall.

that is fine...I can do that...my question is _where_ on that computer
do I put it so that it will know which machine to talk to in order to
get to the Internet?

Thanks in advance!

1. Socks.conf with two socks servers?

Hi,

We have a setup with Linux hosts on two locations and use dante socks
1.19 to connect to the internet for protocols other than HTTP and FTP.
The following socks.conf route is working:

route {
from: 0.0.0.0/0
to: 0.0.0.0/0
via: 10.0.0.16 port = 1080
protocol: tcp udp
proxyprotocol: socks_v4
method: none

What I would like to have is a socks.conf that configures the socks
client to use the nearest socks server, depending on the network. I
tried this without luck:

route {
from: 192.168.1.0/24
to: 0.0.0.0/0
via: 10.0.0.16 port = 1080
protocol: tcp udp
proxyprotocol: socks_v4
method: none

route {
from: 192.168.94.0/24
to: 0.0.0.0/0
via: 192.168.94.18 port = 1080
protocol: tcp udp
proxyprotocol: socks_v4
method: none

The error debug output says:

Dec 4 14:32:28 adnws001 ftp: Rconnect(): unsupported address family
'10', fallback to system connect()

I did not find such an example in the dante socks distribution or with
Google.

Thanks in advance for help

Regards,
Bernd
