Support for Socks proxy?

cs16lover opened this issue · comments

Hello @Snawoot,

First of all thank you for such a great project.

Is it possible to add Socks support for using hola-proxy?

Thanks

Hello!

Do you mean option to act like a SOCKS proxy instead of HTTP one? It's possible, but I see no reason why. Practically every software capable to work with proxies works with HTTP proxy in the first place.

Yes, exactly.

Some softwares communicates using custom TCP (not HTTP) protocols. So I tried and they didn't worked on HTTP proxy.

Custom TCP communication still possible if application wraps connection in HTTP CONNECT method. That's practically how HTTPS works over proxy. So which software we're talking about?

WhatsApp and Telegram

Both of them work via HTTP proxies just fine.
