I can't figure out why my ssh-created socks proxy works with curl but not with Chrome + Mac OS Yosemite.
- Socks proxy created with
ssh -D 8080 -p 5432 -i mypubkey.pem my-user@my_server_ip - Tested with
curl --socks5 localhost:8080 http://www.whatsmyip.net/ |grep "Address is" - And with
curl --proxy socks://localhost:8080 http://www.whatsmyip.net/ |grep "Address is"
With the following result :
<h1 class="ip">Your <acronym title="Internet Protocol">IP</acronym> Address is <input type="text" value="my_server_ip" /></h1>
<h1 class="ip">Your <acronym title="Internet Protocol">IP</acronym>V6 Address is <input type="text" value="my_server_ip_v6" /></h1>
But when I configure at the system level Yosemite with "Proxy SOCKS": localhost:8080 it does not work at all with Chrome / Firefox / Safari.
Adding the -vv for more detail I see the following stack when requesting with chrome
debug1: Connection to port 8080 forwarding to socks port 0 requested.

After some requests the console is frozen and I can't see any other debug logs.
Any idea to solve this issue ?
