To improve speed, you can do pure socks5 using shadowsocks. My recommendations in a different situations. So your skype calls or games will have high latency. But why would you go through this route if you could just use the VPN when TOR connections can't do socks5, (it supports socks5 but it isn't really socks5, it's socks4). Here you’ll want to click on the Advance button, and Network would be your choice here. start with finding Settings in Opera, and then choose the Preferences menu.
you can route every software to go through 3rd party proxy programs which are just put itself on the highest priority in routing gateway, made with mostly 'netsh' command, so software hit the highest priority gateway which is the port of the proxy from 3rd party proxy program. Here, you need to use browser settings to be able to install a proxy into your browser. There are "hacks" available to achieve your goal. Socks stick with the applications, not the interface you are trying to achieve as applications without proxy supports would directly send it to the interface, that's why VPN was invented. Games? I don't think there are proxy settings.Ĭan it route the entire system? No, Socks don't work that way. Same goes to the skype's proxy settings, you need to change it to socks. To answer your question first, Go to the internet option and then change the proxy from HTTP to socks, then your browser works.
How to check/reproduce: use a dumb/non-smart switch and a separate computer with Wireshark or TCPDump.įor usage of Tor as a HTTP and HTTPS proxy use polipo with resolver disabled! Use SOCKS backend of Tor as a resolver.
