In a Windows network, NT LAN Manager (NTLM) is a suite of Microsoft security protocols which provides authentication, integrity, and confidentiality to users.In this article, I will show you how to set up a proxy server connection in the Firefox browser. This configuration can also be set to automatically execute when NetworkManager connects to specific networks, by using the proxydriver AUR package. These settings can be modified through the gnome-control-center front end and also through gsettings. Some programs like Chromium and Firefox can use the settings stored by GNOME. You may set the all_proxy environment variable to let curl and pacman (which uses curl) use your socks5 proxy: An example minimum configuration looks like this:
If using tsocks, the configuration takes place in /etc/nf. Where program can be any program already installed on your system (e.g.
Then, proxychains-ng can be launched with For example, if you are using the same SOCKS5 proxy as above, you will have to replace the last line by: You may have to uncomment the last line (set by default to use Tor), and replace it with the parameters of the SOCKS proxy. If using proxychains-ng, the configuration takes place in /etc/nf. For example, if a SOCKS5 proxy is running on localhost port 8080, put 127.0.0.1 in the SOCKS Host field, 8080 in the Port field, and validate.

Choose Manual Proxy Configuration, and set the SOCKS Host (and only this one, make sure the other fields, such as HTTP Proxy or SSL Proxy are left empty). In Firefox, you can use the SOCKS proxy in the menu Preferences > Network > Settings. the application you want to use does not handle SOCKS proxies, then you can try to use tsocks or proxychains-ng.the application you want to use handles SOCKS5 proxies (for example Firefox), then you just have to configure it to use the proxy.

Software supporting SOCKS proxy servers can simply be configured to connect to PORT on localhost. This specifies that traffic on the local PORT will be forwarded to the remote HOST.
The script has to be then made executable. If the proxy environment variables are to be made available to all users and all applications, the above mentioned export commands may be added to a script, say proxy.sh inside /etc/profile.d/. Some programs look for the all caps version of the environment variables. ).īelow is an example on how to set these variables in a shell:Įxport no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,"
Some programs, such as wget and (used by pacman) CURL, use environment variables of the form protocol_proxy to determine the proxy for a given protocol (e.g. Reason: To export the environment everywhere (more or less), they could be set in /etc/environment, /etc/environment.d/*.conf and ~/.config/environment.d/*.conf. sslsplit - Works with any TLS connections but cannot act as a HTTP proxy in a browser, written in C.mitmproxy - Command-line and web interface, written in Python, also has API.microsocks - Plain simple SOCKS5 proxy server, written in C.Fiddler - Proprietary and graphical, running on Mono.Charles - Graphical trialware written in Java.In order for the TLS MITM to work you need to trust a certificate authority of the proxy either in your browser or system-wide. When debugging HTTPS connections it is sometimes useful to intercept them outside of the browser.
