Jackett: Add support for proxy configuration to the GUI [$50]

[kaso17]

proxy support should be configurable via the webgui (command line args are not available for the windows service).

There is a $65 open bounty on this issue. Add to the bounty at Bountysource.

Hi,

Would this include socks5 with authentication as a proxy option? My vpn provider has a scoks5 service which I would like jackett to make use of. However, I'm, currently, not sure how to configure jackett to use a socks 5 proxy with authentication.

[kaso17]

The .NET httpclient doesn't support socks proxies. It probably would require significant low level workarounds to make it work. I won't implement it. I suggest you ask your VPN provider to provide a HTTP proxy.

@kaso17 Running Jackett as a Windows Service. So at the moment from what I understand Jackett does not work with HTTP Proxies on Windows with authentication? Currently running this in console:

JackettConsole.exe -j username:password@host:port which didn't work.

I also tried JackettConsole.exe -j host:port but that returns a System.net.WebException error (407) authentication required because my HTTP proxy requires authentication.

[kaso17]

authentication is definitely not implemented for the httpclient.
Shouldn't be hard to add. Example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29856543/httpclient-and-using-proxy-constantly-getting-407
But I don't have a proxy and I'm currently to lazy to set one up for testing.

[macbean101]

if using Linux, should a socks proxy with authentication work?

[atwright147]

An alternative could be to implement a scraper to automatically get alternative URLs from a ProxyPortal site if a request fails.

[kaso17]

@atwright147 can you explain a little bit more? what's a proxy portal site?

[atwright147]

This: https://proxyportal.org

Hey !

I hope proxy will be configurable via the webgui

[lawrenceadams]

This would be really cool - is there any news regarding this?

[Martins2759]

I would also like to show my interest in this.
@atwright147 suggestion works for those of us in countries where the sites are blocked, but is definately not optimal.

[Smalfinn]

Definitely support this with a $15 bounty!

I'm looking for either SOCKS5 or HTTPS proxy support for a windows service user, in the form of options for the server address, port, username and password in the WebUI.

All of this to bypass UK ISPs blocking thepiratebay.org :/

[moarf56]

I hope we can use it soon !

[Smalfinn]

I have upped the bounty to $50 🗡

[n1nj4888]

I’ve upped the bounty on this to $65.

Would be great to have SOCKS5 and/or HTTPS proxy support configurable in the web GUI and option to configure proxy server, port, username and password...

[IBeRamen]

I will begin work on this. Hopefully I can get it working.

[Smalfinn]

Awesome, thanks IBeRamen

[moarf56]

Yes :d thx IBeRamen

[IBeRamen]

Can anyone suggest a site that has free proxies I can test it on? Preferably with a password.

[Smalfinn]

Shall I message you my TorGuard details to test?

[lawrenceadams]

I can lend you my PIA proxy login if you would like?

A big thanks to @sv01a who has now implemented proxy settings the UI
Proxy settings are now available in pre-release https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases/tag/v0.8.349
Please try it out

[IBeRamen]

Beat me to it! I'll definitely give it a shot :)

[evilvibes]

This don't support SOCKS5 ?

[sv01a]

Yes, only http proxy supports for now. Will try to add socks tomorrow.

[Smalfinn]

HTTP proxy enabled causes time out errors with sonarr

Zooqle (Jackett) server is currently unavailable. http://localhost:9117/api/v2.0/indexers/zooqle/results/torznab/api?t=tvsearch&cat=4000,8000,4050,2000,3000,7010,5000,5070&extended=1&apikey=(removed)&offset=0&limit=100 The request was aborted: The operation has timed out.

[sv01a]

Are you sure that proxy is working? Do you try Jackett manual search?

[Smalfinn]

Yes, manual search works perfectly

[sv01a]

Manual search also work through proxy. By the error message: request took much time and aborted by time out. You can try another proxy?

[Smalfinn]

Horriblesubs, the pirate bay and RARBG seem to work okay, just zooqle that is showing this error:
Invalid request Validation failed: -- No results were returned from your indexer, please check your settings.

SOCKS support now in pre-release thanks to @sv01a
Please try it out and provide feedback

[evilvibes]

SOCKS5 is working! Nice work @sv01a

Thanks

[n1nj4888]

Great work @sv01a !!!

SOCKS proxy seems to work great. Has anyone tested HTTP/HTTPS (if supported) proxy?

Many thanks once again!

[ghost]

Now available with general release

[NickPaul41]

Thanks for implementing this!!!!

[Smalfinn]

Sorry to re-open this but I had no other way of contacting @sv01a

When I have a socks5 proxy enabled the CPU usage for Jackett goes up to 80% and stays there.

Please help!
