#93 connect HTTP through SS5 proxy?

[Jason Allen]

I am having trouble connecting through the proxy server, hoping that someone can help.

In my ss5.conf I have the following:

auth 0.0.0.0/0 - -
permit - 0.0.0.0/0 - 0.0.0.0/0 - - - - -

in the /etc/init.d/ss5 I have:

export SS5_SOCKS_PORT=8080
export SS5_SOCKS_USER=root

I can see that SS5 is listening on port 8080. I can telnet to port 8080 without any problem.

However, when I attempt configure the SS5 server as a proxy in Windows/IE and navigate to a webpage, I get "page cannot be displayed" error in the browser.

ss5.log shows:

10.130.236.83 "" "" ISERROR - - - (-:- -- -:-) (Socks method unknown)

10.130.236.83 is the Windows Server.

My ultimate goal is to force all traffic from the windows server (including HTTP and HTTPS) through the SS5 proxy.
