Re: Torsocks.conf problem AKA gsettings proxy (SOLVED)

Hello again,

After Lazaro's response I gave new though to this question and soon it
became clear that the problem was a presumption I made: that gnome3
proxy settings being directed to a local machine tor server would made
it automatically use torsocks.conf.

The fact is, gnome proxy settings are configured apart in gsettings and
have no knowledge of /etc/torsocks.conf. To change gnome3 proxy settings
and avoid using tor to connect to local lan, use dconf Editor and put
local lan in ignore_hosts value.

As I said earlier, though, curlftpfs + fstab totally sidesteps this
inhouse gnome config.

Hi,

I've found a bash workaround to this problem. Instead of connecting to
ftp server through nautilus, it is possible to locally mount it using
curlftpfs package.

First, you need to make sure to except the host ip range address with
$no_proxy bash environment variable, something like:

export $no_proxy=localhost,192.168.1.1/8,127.0.0.1/16

After installing curlftpfs, create a mount point:

# mkdir /PATH/DIR

Mount it:

# curlftpfs -o rw,allow_other,user USER:PASSWORD@HOST/ /PATH/DIR

To unmount:

# fusermount -u /PATH/DIR

To make it permanent, add this line to /etc/fstab:

curlftpfs#USER:PASSWORD@HOST/DIR /PATH/DIR fuse rw,allow_other,auto,user
0 0

Since this is a more universal solution, I'm sticking to it.

Hi there!

I use tor system wide through gnome proxy settings localhost:9050.
According to torsocks.conf man pages, /etc/torsocks.conf should avoid
using torsocks when connecting to local lan network.

local = 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0

should do the job in my scenario. However, nautilus refuses to connect
to a local ftp server and informs a "Connection through SOCKSv4 server
rejected".

Since I'm able to connect to this server using iceweasel and filezilla,
it's a real issue, but it would be better to have this server attached
to nautilus and avoid the hassle of using another program just for this.

Does anyone have a hint to the solution?
