Re: Connecting to server through a SOCKS5 proxy

 

Hi Henry,

As you've spotted libmosquitto doesn't support SOCKS5. It's a nice
idea though, I'll certainly look at it for the future. I've filed a
bug to keep track of it:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=425939

In the meantime, could I suggest using a tool like proxychains (
http://proxychains.sourceforge.net/ ) to wrap the clients? I've just
tried it and it worked just fine. The majority of my time was spent
getting the socks proxy server working...

Cheers,

Roger
