-title: Configuring a SOCKS proxy server in Chrome
----
-
-To configure chrome to proxy traffic through the SOCKS v5 proxy server
-***myproxy:8080***, launch chrome with these two command-line flags:
-
---proxy-server="socks5://***myproxy:8080***"
-
---host-resolver-rules="MAP \* ~NOTFOUND , EXCLUDE ***myproxy***"
-
-Explanation
-
-The --proxy-server="socks5://myproxy:8080" flag tells Chrome to send all http://
-and https:// URL requests through the SOCKS proxy server "myproxy:8080", using
-version 5 of the SOCKS protocol. The hostname for these URLs will be resolved by
-the *proxy server*, and not locally by Chrome.
-
-* NOTE: proxying of ftp:// URLs through a SOCKS proxy is not yet
- implemented.
-
-The --proxy-server flag applies to URL loads only. There are other components of
-Chrome which may issue DNS resolves *directly* and hence bypass this proxy
-server. The most notable such component is the "DNS prefetcher".Hence if DNS
-prefetching is not disabled in Chrome then you will still see local DNS requests
-being issued by Chrome despite having specified a SOCKS v5 proxy server.
-
-Disabling DNS prefetching would solve this problem, however it is a fragile
-solution since once needs to be aware of all the areas in Chrome which issue raw
-DNS requests. To address this, the next flag, --host-resolver-rules="MAP \*
-~NOTFOUND , EXCLUDE myproxy", is a catch-all to prevent Chrome from sending any
-DNS requests over the network. It says that all DNS resolves are to be simply
-mapped to the (invalid) address 0.0.0.0. The "EXCLUDE" clause make an exception
-for "myproxy", because otherwise Chrome would be unable to resolve the address
-of the SOCKS proxy server itself, and all requests would necessarily fail with
-PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED.
-
-Debugging
-
-There are a lot of intricacies to configuring proxy settings as you intend:
-
-* Different profiles can use different proxy settings
-* Extensions can modify the proxy settings
-* If using the system setting, other applications can change them, and
- there can be per-connection settings.
-* The proxy settings might include fallbacks to other proxies, or
- direct connections
-* Plugins (for instance Flash and Java applets) can bypass the Chrome
- proxy settings alltogether
-* Other third-party components in Chrome might issue DNS resolves
- directly, or bypass Chrome's proxy settings.
-
-The first thing to check when debugging is look at the Proxy tab on
-about:net-internals, and verify what the effective proxy settings are:
-
-chrome://net-internals/#proxy
-
-Next, take a look at the DNS tab of about:net-internals to make sure Chrome
-isn't issuing local DNS resolves:
-
-chrome://net-internals/#dns
-
-Next, to trace the proxy logic for individual requests in Chrome take a look at
-the Events tab of about:net-internals:
-
