[Tutorial] Socks 5 Proxy with SABNZBD

[premiso]

A gentleman ( at least I assume so ) in IRC, posted this tutorial and asked I relay it here:

This is a howto for setting up a socsk5 proxy server over ssh (assumes you know how to socks5 over ssh) with sabnzbd:

First up download the desproxy program, desproxy works cross platform for linux, windows and mac.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/desprox ... .1.0-pre3/

Downlaod the desproxy-0.1.0-pre3 version for your OS.

Extract desproxy to a destination you can find, such as c:\temp\desproxy for windows.
Open up a command line:
start > run > cmd

Navigate to the desproxy
cd c:\temp\desproxy

Type desproxy and hit enter, it will say something:
Usage: desproxy remote_host remote_port proxy_host proxy_port local_port

Enter in your details, (if you are using socks5 over SSH remember to start that first) in this case, remote host and remote port is the final news server addy you want to connect to. Proxy host is your socks or http proxy and local port is local port.

So far this has only been tested with one connection of non-ssl, so if you try it out and find anything new please let us know

Have you an example how to use it, especially combined with SOCKS? Do you have to set up a SSH SOCKS 'tunnel', point desproxy to it, and then point SABnzbd to desproxy?
