ProxyChainRb

ProxyChainRb is a Ruby wrapper around the Node.JS library proxy-chain.

It enables you to tunnel proxies that require authentication via non-authenticated proxies bound to localhost (making it possible to use authenticated proxies in e.g. Chrome and Firefox via Selenium).

This gem was created for scenarios where proxifier wouldn't work. NordVPN proxies for example work with ProxyChainRb but somehow can't be used together with proxifier.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'proxy_chain_rb'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install proxy_chain_rb

Usage

real_proxy        =   "http://username:password@host:port"
server            =   ProxyChainRb::Server.new
generated_proxy   =   server.start(real_proxy)
# use generated_proxy as the proxy when opening new connections in your code
# when you're done:
server.stop

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
