I'm trying to dial using credentials and maintain a connection with a socks5 proxy server in Go.
This works nicely if I have IP authorisation set up with the proxy provider, however there is no way pass any auth credentials using net.Dial function in Go:
package main
import (
"io"
"net"
)
func main() {
dst, err := net.Dial("tcp", "11.22.33.44:1111")
if err != nil {
panic("Dial Error:" + err.Error())
}
dst.Close()
}
Go has a useful proxy library and allows authenticated forward requests via proxy using this:
package main
import (
"io"
"net"
)
func main() {
var proxyAuth *proxy.Auth
if conf.Username != "" {
proxyAuth = new(proxy.Auth)
proxyAuth.User = conf.Username
proxyAuth.Password = conf.Password
}
proxyconn, _ := proxy.SOCKS5("tcp", "11.11.11.11:1111", proxyAuth, nil) //returns a Dialer with proxy that can be invoked to connect to another address
dst := proxyconn.Dial("tcp", "22.33.44.55:6666") //connects to an address via proxy
dst.Close()
}
However it returns a Dialer that then asks to connect a target/ultimate address through this authenticated proxy rather the proxy server itself:
My objective here is to return a net.conn connection with a credentials-authenticated proxy server - something like this:
package main
import (
"io"
"net"
)
func main() {
//net.Dial does not have a way to pass Auth creds
dst := net.Dial("tcp", "22.33.44.55:6666", proxyAuth)
dst.Close()
}
