Outstanding issues & Fix - rickyzhang82/tethering GitHub Wiki

1. OS system wide proxy doesn't work for Git or ssh

Please use my customized version tsocks here.. In Mac OS, it overrides BSD function related to DNS. It works well in Intel Mac and even Apple Silicon Mac.

2. Firefox dones't resolve host name

For firefox, you need to go to URL type about:config, set flag network.proxy.socks_remote_dns is true.

3. Chrome isn't working via tsocks

I confirmed that tethering works in Mavericks command line, if you provide proxy settings: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --proxy-server="socks5://192.168.1.3:1080"

It will uses your socks5 setting, instead of using system wide proxy setting.

4. Skype or some game doesn't work

The socks proxy only work for TCP protocol. Any apps like Skype or game communicate through UDP won't work.
