I am running a golang application on my local laptop, which connects with the Service APIs from a kubernetes cluster. To allow the communication between my laptop and Service APIs on Kubernetes Cluster, I have setup the Socks5 proxy and Able to connect with all services over CURL command.
But I am unable to set same proxy in the Golang application. I have tried various options already
1) Settings env vars - tried setting these 3 at OS level, App level but it did not work
- http_proxy
- https_proxy
- all_proxy2) I am running on Ubuntu Desktop 20.X, so I tried setting Socks proxy at OS Network level as well. All other apps using proxy, but golang isnt picking that up.
3) I tried setting the http.transport level configs too, but it didnt helped.
func InsecureTLSTransport() *http.Transport {
// START - Only for Proxy - Dev Mode.
var dialer, err = proxy.SOCKS5("socks5", "<IP:port>", nil, proxy.Direct)
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "can't connect to the proxy:", err)
}
return &http.Transport{
TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{InsecureSkipVerify: true},
Dial: dialer.Dial,
}
}
I want the socks5 Proxy to be used by my golang app at runtime. Any suggestions/help is really appreciated here.
you should use tcp instead of socks5 in the network parameter.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"golang.org/x/net/proxy"
)
func main() {
d, err := proxy.SOCKS5("tcp", "<IP:port>", nil, proxy.Direct) // <-- here
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
c, err := d.Dial("tcp", "https://google.com")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
defer c.Close()
}
