Connect to a .NET web service through a SOCKS5 proxy

Question

I am trying to connect through a SOCKS5 proxy to a web service. Currently my app.config is as follows:

<system.net>
 <defaultProxy enabled="true"  >
  <proxy proxyaddress="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy" bypassonlocal="True" />
 </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

This works great for HTTP proxies, however it just doesn't connect to SOCKS5. I searched many times for the answer and could not find anyone to solve this problem, although I found this question a couple of times. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Answer 1

Apparently, Microsoft has not created SOCKS proxy support in its web classes (see http://windows-tech.info/13/f17246e7dd4a8a2b.php )

, - .NET - SOCKS5 . , - .NET- Reflector, Mono , ProxySocket, .

If you can use HttpClient , you can use SocksSharp .

I just followed suit and it worked for me.

var settings = new ProxySettings()
{
    Host = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
    Port = yyyy
};

using (var proxyClientHandler = new ProxyClientHandler<Socks5>(settings))
{
    using (var httpClient = new HttpClient(proxyClientHandler))
    {
        var response = await httpClient.GetAsync("http://example.com/");
    }
}
