Are SOCKS proxy servers supported?

-Currently only HTTP proxy servers are supported directly. A way to use SOCKS on Unix is to use tsocks with SSH as follows: -

Install 'tsocks'
-
Open /etc/tsocks.conf in an editor
-
Type something like this, you can choose the port freely:
```
server = 127.0.0.1
-server_type = 5
-server_port = 5555

Open an SSH connection with the same port:

Run Midori with âtsocksâ in front of it:

```

Now you can use for example http://www.whatsmyip.org/ to verify that you are using a SOCKS connection. The IP address should match the one of your SSH host. Remember to keep the SSH login running, and don't suspend it, otherwise it won't work.

midori -i 120 -e Fullscreen -e Navigationbar -a about:blank

+ +

+Available commands for -e can be listed with âmidori âhelp-executeâ. +

+If needed, a customized profile can be created with âmidori -c /path/to/folderâ. Using the shortcut editor extension, keyboard shortcuts can be removed as needed. Afterwards just append â-c /path/to/folderâ to the kiosk mode command line. +

+To restrict pages that can be opened, you can use a regular expression. The expression is a blacklist. To block undesirable sites you can do something like: +

-b 'youtube|youporn'

+ +

+By negating the expression you can also whitelist pages. +
