I am utilizing Google Chrome as a port forward via SOCKS proxy.
Essentially I am running the following command via terminal:
ssh foo@bar.com -D 9999
Then in Google Chrome, I set the SOCKS proxy to 127.0.0.1:9999
.
Problem is, I need to then access the host of https://localhost/foo/bar
to be able to access what I need to access. This works fine on Firefox (when I modify the proxy settings), but not on Chrome.
If I go into /etc/hosts
on my system and create an entry like this:
127.0.0.1 foobar
I can then go to https://foobar/foo/bar
and everything works fine. It seems that chrome refuses to forward localhost
or 127.0.0.1
. Is there any way around this?
A similar question is here, with similar suggested workarounds. – Dan R – 2019-08-29T04:01:52.013
