Hello all, Newbie to the group and linux so please be gentle. I am trying to get dante up and can't seem to get any love. I want to set up a simple socks proxy which I will wrap in either openssh or putty. the Dante log looks like dante starts up with no errors but when I go to connect from the box I get a connection refused error. My dante.conf is: #Where are we going to log all those useful error messages? logoutput: /var/log/dante.log #What ip and port should Dante listen on, # since I am only going to be using this via SSH #I only want to allow connections over the loopback internal: 127.0.0.1 port = 8080 #Bind to the eth0 interface external: eth0 #Since I am only accepting connections over the loopback, # the only people that COULD connect # would already be authenticated, # no need to have dante authenticate also method: username none #Which unprivileged user will Dante impersonate if need-be? user.notprivileged: nobody # Who can access this proxy? # Accept only connections from the loopback, all ports client pass { from: 127.0.0.1/0 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0 } #Block all other connection attempts client block { from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 log: connect error } # Once connected, where can they go? block { from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 127.0.0.0/8 log: connect error } #Pass from the internal IP to anywhere pass { from: 127.0.0.1/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 protocol: tcp udp } #Pass from the loopback going anywhere pass { from: 127.0.0.0/8 to: 0.0.0.0/0 protocol: tcp udp } # Block everything else block { from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 log: connect error } TIA DP
