Real IP showing up with socks5 ssh tunnel
hitchan opened this issue · comments
I am running this image on a server with port 9118 exposed. I created a socks tunnel through ssh with the following command.
ssh -D 9118 user@server
I configured firefox proxy as 127.0.0.1:9118, and I am able to access the internet. I confirmed that the traffic is being routed through the proxy by changing the port and being unable to browse anywhere.
When I check my external IP in firefox, google is showing my actual IP address. I have used other binhex VPN images (PIA) with success such as deluge, so I am sure the VPN config is setup properly. The logs are showing the VPN connection being setup successfully.
Am I missing something here?
I believe I solved my own issue. Problem is Firefox doesn't allow sock5 with credentials, cloned the image, removed the auth and it is now working.
