Which software is used to setup connection to socks5 proxy from Ubuntu server?

possible dup of askubuntu.com/questions/15719/…– user606723Aug 5, 2011 at 16:21

I suggest it is not a dup because "server" probably means no unity gui. I'd love to see the same answer for a non gui as 15719 question– Jay _silly_evarlast_ WrenJul 5, 2012 at 15:10

Besides firefox socks5-client setup (which is what I use most in combination with ssh) I know of dante-client
http://www.inet.no/dante/doc/latest/config/client.html
This package provides the "socksify" client program - a tool which forwards network requests from any program to a SOCKS server (v4 or v5) which then performs them on your behalf.
Is that what you are looking for?
Read here- http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-configure-ubuntu-desktop-to-use-your-proxy-server.html
It's a little out of date, but it should give you an idea about what needs to be done.
Try the ubuntu configuration first and see if other utilities are able to derive those settings. If not, configure them separately.
