How do I troubleshoot a SOCKS proxy on Linux?
An example of an AI chatbot conversation about troubleshooting SOCKS proxy issues on Linux.
I'm having trouble connecting to the internet through my SOCKS proxy on Linux. What should I do?
First, let's check if the SOCKS proxy is correctly configured. Can you tell me which application you're using to connect?
I'm using Firefox. I set the proxy settings to use SOCKS5.
Great! In Firefox, go to Preferences > Network Settings. Make sure the SOCKS host and port are correct. What do you see there?
The host is set to 127.0.0.1 and the port is 1080, which should be right.
That sounds correct. Next, can you try connecting to a different website to see if the issue persists?
I still can't connect. Is there anything else I can check?
Yes, check if the SOCKS proxy server is running and accessible. You can also try using the command curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:1080 http://example.com in the terminal to test the connection.
