Linux Aplication Only Support Http Proxy
linux: xubuntu 12.04
if you a linux user and you have a socks proxy
but you want to use your socks proxy for linux aplication which doesn't support socks proxy
a way you can try is "polipo"
its an linux aplication how can convert socks proxy to http proxy
1. install polipo
# apt-get install polipo
2. configure polipo
# nano /etc/polipo/config
proxyAddress = "127.0.0.1" # IPv4 only
proxyPort = 8118 // polipo http port
socksParentProxy = "127.0.0.1:1081" // your socks proxy
socksProxyType = socks5
3. config your aplication with http proxy
address: 127.0.0.1
port: 8118
4. cek connection
if you reconfigure your polipo config you must restart polipo service (in root)
# /etc/init.d/polipo restart
happy trying
