NAME

6       connect-proxy — connect over SOCKS4/5 proxy

SYNOPSIS

9       connect-proxy  [-dnhst45]   [-R resolve ]  [-p local-port ]  [-w secs ]
10       [-H [user@]proxy-server[:port]] ]   [-S  [user@]socks-server[:port]]  ]
11       [-T proxy-server[:port] ]  [-c telnet-proxy-command ]  [host]  [port]

DESCRIPTION

14       connect-proxy open connection over SOCKS4/5 proxies
15
16       Please, note that any HTTP-Proxy tunnel won't work with content-inspec‐
17       tion firewall (unless using SSL).
18

OPTIONS

20       -H        specifies a hostname and port number of the http proxy server
21                 to  relay.  If  port  is omitted, 80 is used. You can specify
22                 this value in the environment variable  HTTP_PROXY  and  pass
23                 the -h option to use it.
24
25       -S        specifies the hostname and port number of the SOCKS server to
26                 relay.  Like -H, port number can be omitted and  the  default
27                 is 1080. You can also specify this value pair in the environ‐
28                 ment variable SOCKS5_SERVER and give the -s option to use it.
29
30       -4        specifies SOCKS relaying and indicates  protocol  version  to
31                 use.   It is valid only when used with '-s' or '-S'.  Default
32                 is '-5' (protocol version 5)
33
34       -R        method to resolve  the  hostname.  Three  keywords  ("local",
35                 "remote",  "both") or dot-notation IP address are acceptable.
36                 The keyword "both" means, "Try local first, then remote".  If
37                 a  dot-notation  IP  address  is  specified, use this host as
38                 nameserver. The default is "remote" for SOCKS5 or "local" for
39                 others. On SOCKS4 protocol, remote resolving method ("remote"
40                 and "both") requires protocol 4a supported server.
41
42       -p        will forward a local TCP port instead of using  the  standard
43                 input and output.
44
45       -P        same  to '-p' except keep remote session. The program repeats
46                 waiting the port with holding remote session without  discon‐
47                 necting.  To connect the remote session, send EOF to stdin or
48                 kill the program.
49
50       -w        timeout in seconds for making connection with TARGET host.
51
52       -d        used for debug. If you fail to connect, use  this  and  check
53                 request to and response from server.

USAGE

56       To use proxy, this example is for SOCKS5 connection to connect to
57
58       connect-proxy -S firewall host 25
59
60       SOCKS5_SERVER=firewall; export SOCKS5_SERVER; connect-proxy -s host 25
61
62       For a HTTP-PROXY connection:
63
64       connect-proxy -H proxy-server:8080  host 25
65
66       HTTP_PROXY=proxy-server:8080;  export HTTP_PROXY; connect-proxy -h host
67       25
68
69       To forward a local port, for example to use ssh:
70
71       connect-proxy -H proxy-server:8080  host 22 ssh -l user -p 5550  local‐
72       host
73
74       To use it along ssh transparently:
75        #  file://~/.ssh/config  Host  *  ProxyCommand connect-proxy -H proxy-
76       server:8080  %h %p
