Howto proxy network connections in Emulator
Get tsocks
Since the emulator is running as x86, you can just copy over your tsocks files from your linux distro
- Fire up the emulator (palm-emulator)
- copy tsocks to Emulator -> /usr/local/bin
scp -P 5522 /usr/bin/tsocks root@localhost:/usr/local/bin
- copy libtsocks.so to Emulator -> /usr/lib
scp -P 5522 /usr/lib/libtsocks.so root@localhost:/usr/lib
Create the tsocks.conf file
# This is the configuration for libtsocks (transparent socks)
# Lines beginning with # and blank lines are ignored
#
# The basic idea is to specify:
# - Local subnets - Networks that can be accessed directly without
# assistance from a socks server
# - Paths - Paths are basically lists of networks and a socks server
# which can be used to reach these networks
# - Default server - A socks server which should be used to access
# networks for which no path is available
# Much more documentation than provided in these comments can be found in
# the man pages, tsocks(8) and tsocks.conf(8)
# Local networks
# For this example this machine can directly access 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
# (192.168.0.*) and 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 (10.*)
local = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
local = 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
#local = <Network for your personal network>/<netmask>
# Paths
# For this example this machine needs to access 150.0.0.0/255.255.0.0 as
# well as port 80 on the network 150.1.0.0/255.255.0.0 through
# the socks 5 server at 10.1.7.25 (if this machines hostname was
# "socks.hello.com" we could also specify that, unless --disable-hostnames
# was specified to ./configure).
##path {
# reaches = 150.0.0.0/255.255.0.0
# reaches = 150.1.0.0:80/255.255.0.0
# server = 10.1.7.25
# server_type = 5
# default_user = delius
# default_pass = hello
#}
# Default server
# For connections that aren't to the local subnets or to 150.0.0.0/255.255.0.0
# the server at 192.168.0.1 should be used (again, hostnames could be used
# too, see note above)
#server = 192.168.0.1
server = <IP OF YOUR socks proxy>
# Server type defaults to 4 so we need to specify it as 5 for this one
server_type = 5
# The port defaults to 1080 but I've stated it here for clarity
server_port = 1080
default_user = user@host
default_pass = <password here>
- You can test your config file by doing this
/usr/local/bin/tsocks wget http://www.cnn.com
- If you are behind the socks proxy and the tsocks.conf is setup correctly, then the wget command should work.
Shim LunaSysMgr
Permanently shim LunaSysMgr
- You can force LunaSysMgr to always use the proxy by editing the upstart script that lives in /etc/event.d
- Add the tsocks line in front of the call to exec LunaSysMgr
- vi /etc/event.d/LunaSysMgr and update the exec line to make it look like this:
exec /usr/local/bin/tsocks /usr/bin/LunaSysMgr -s `cat /var/luna/preferences/sysmgr-args`
- reboot the emulator. enjoy.
