JackMJ Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi everyone, I have tried IE6, IE8, Firefox 6, Chrome 4 and found that all of them can not support Socks5 proxy with user/password authentication. After my test, I get some points as bellow: 1. As a default setting, IE uses Socks4 which can not support user/password authentication. 2. Chrome uses IE's proxy settings. 3. Firefox can support both Socks4 and Socks5 but if Socks5, it still can not support user/password authentication. I know with some proxy tools like proxifier, freecap, I can make it but what if without such proxy tools? Anyone can help?BTW, I used CCProxy to build my proxy server on a WinXP Pro SP3, and the client OS is also WinXP Pro SP3.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember why I don't use it anymore. I'm sure there was a reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
