I'd like my .NET app to use a proxy which I know how to do except .net doesn't support sock4a/sock5. I know how to setup my app but, how do I setup socat to listen at as a TCP proxy on port 1234 and use the socks5 server at 127.0.0.1:5678?
It must forward all TCP connect. I had luck with privoxy earlier but that only supports http connections.
PS: I am on windows but the commands should be the same as linux
I am slightly going mad. Even if I call socat like this:
socat -vvvv tcp4-listen:9000 tcp4-listen:9001
it works perfectly, but doesn't inform me about incoming TCP connections! Is there an additional verbosity option that makes socat show this information, something like
Connection from XYZ
Can't be such a special function, or can it?
I want a UDP echo server to get packets, and reply exactly what it has received. How can I simply do this using netcat or socat? It should stay alive forever and handle packets coming from several hosts.
I understand that socat is described as a "more advanced" version of netcat, but what is the actual difference? Would it be correct to say that everything you can do in netcat you can also do in socat? What about the opposite (everything you can do with socat can also be done in netcat)?
Quick question - I run two linux boxes, one my own desktop and the other my VPS. For security reasons on the VPS end I opted for socket connections to MySQL (/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock). I know I can tunnel like this: ssh -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 [email protected] if I set up the remote sql server to listen on some port, but what I want to know is can I do something like: ssh -L /path/to/myremotesqlserver.sock:/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock thereby tunnelling two sockets, as opposed to two ports?
A perfectly acceptable solution would also be to forward a local port to the remote socket file, but where possible I'm trying not to have tcp servers running on the remote box.
(and yes, I know tcp would be easier).
