Playing nexuiz over a proxy.

Postby MrAwesome » Fri Jan 04, 2008 3:53 am

I've heard from several people that it's possible to do this, specifically over a socks5 proxy, and I was wondering if anyone had any definite info on whether or not this is possible. I know how to set up an SSH proxy and forward ports, but I don't know how to integrate this with Nexuiz.

I have no idea who told you this, as it is wrong. Nexuiz and about every other game uses UDP, it won't be possible to get that through a ssh proxy.

In theory, SOCKS5 supports UDP, but ssh's proxy mode (ssh -D) doesn't. No idea if any of the SOCKSifier preload libraries (tsocks, socksify for example) support UDP.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

I can play Nexuiz over a SOCKS5 proxy without problems. You will need a software that wraps nexuiz to allow this. For windows XP there is FreeCap or SocksCap which can do that.

Nope, no idea. Never used SOCKS for anything serious. You may want to try tsocks or socksify.

Hello. First post here. Any ideas how to get Nexuiz working with Squid?

I think you just set up an internal network using tun, and route that through a connection that is configured to use a proxy. I could be wrong.

No, squid is an HTTP proxy.

I know that Squid is http proxy. I've tried http tunnel (several, which were found using google) but I can't get it to work so I've decided to ask here if somebody had similar problem. Would it be possible that nexuiz servers could support http encapsulated packets directly without the need of an external server?
