proxy options: nlss | nntp | http
« on: October 21, 2007, 10:16:10 PM »
i dont want to use my nntp giganews connection via proxy, but i would like nlss to be proxied; just as the other http search engines are...

is there any possibility the nntp connection and nlss proxy setting/option can be separated so i can have nlss proxied?

Yes, there is, but there is a question why would anyone like that? Ussualy ppl use proxy cause they must and in that case they need to use socks proxy for both SS and connections. What exactly is the reason you want your SS yo be proxied but not connections?

ah, well i was just thinking the search engines should be combined into a group so they could use one proxy, proxy A and the nntp alone could be on its own proxy; a proxy thats meant for high speed transfers. personally i am trying to ssh my http traffic from my computer to my vpn service; so A, my packets cant be logged at work, and B, so comcast (my i-net provider at home & work) doesn't send me any DMCA's (which i doubt would happen since searching for anything isnt illegal, but truthfully i dont want to risk it since i am warezing alot). technically i could bridge alt.binz to socks cap (or a similiar program), and so on, but i figured it would be easier if the function was already built into alt.binz. if i am the only one with this request dont worry, i dont want to be a burden for u rdl 8)

nlss search requests & results are compressed and encrypted so no need to worry about that
