Is there any browser can support Socks5 proxy with user/password authentica


Recommended Posts

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 WinXP Pro SP3, and the client OS is also WinXP Pro SP3.
