 Posted: Wed May 07, 2003 9:51 am Post subject: Emerge sync and more using a SOCKS proxy HOWTO |
 |
|
This howto describes how to setup a SOCKS client for emerging. I had an incredibly difficult time making this work, so I want to make it easier for anyone else trying. I used tsocks (emerge tsocks) as my SOCKS client for a SOCKS v5 server. Note that I also have DNS, HTTP and FTP proxies set up. Some people need to use a specific rsync server IP address as the DNS information does not make it through.
in /etc/make.conf
| Code: | SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
FTP_PROXY="ftp://192.168.0.1:8000"
HTTP_PROXY="http://192.168.0.1:80"
#RSYNC_PROXY="192.168.0.1:873" |
Notice that RSYNC_PROXY is commented out. This is critical.
in /etc/socks/tsocks.conf
| Code: | # We can access 192.168.0.* directly
local = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
# Otherwise we use the server
path {
reaches = 0.0.0.0/0
server = 192.168.0.1
server_type = 5
default_user = test
default_pass = test
} |
192.168.0.1 is the SOCKS server. The default_user and default_pass fields were required to make this work; the test:test combination is meaningless and could be anything. |

cool  ... I'll use this for now ... but there are a couple of things where tsocks is not as powerful as dante ... could anyone with experience post how to do a similar thing with dante ... I had a really hard time finding anything useful on dante configuration

There is a very detailed dante sample config in /usr/doc/dante*/example/socks.conf.gz. There are so many comments and examples for more complex configurations (such as ms-proxy, http tunneling, etc) that I've stripped all the comments out.
My config at uni (in /etc/socks/socks.conf) is:
| Code: | route {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 127.0.0.0/8 via: direct
command: connect udpassociate
}
route {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 10.0.0.0/8 via: direct
}
route {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 128.240.0.0/8 via: direct
}
route {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 via: 128.240.229.66 port = 1080
protocol: tcp udp
proxyprotocol: socks_v4 socks_v5
method: none
}
|
The 10.0.0.0/8 and 128.240.0.0/16 subnets are on the local network and do not need to go though the socks proxy. |
