SOCKS 5 Proxy Connection

Sat, 31 Jul 2021 01:09:00 +0000

I have a chain running on AWS that is connected to an application hosted on Heroku which uses dynamic IP's. I've installed a SOCK5 proxy add-on that returns a couple static IP addresses for me to use. However, when I update the multichain.conf file with a static IP, the connection fails. Works just fine when I use rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0

In the example below, the vendor demonstrates a SOCKS5 connection to MySQL request. Can someone translate the configuration to multichain setup that uses multichain-node (json-rpc) commands.

var mysql = require('mysql2'),

    url = require('url'),
    SocksConnection = require('socksjs');

var remote_options = {
    host:'your-database.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com',
    port: 3306
};

var proxy = url.parse(process.env.QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL),
    auth = proxy.auth,
    username = auth.split(':')[0],
    pass = auth.split(':')[1];

var sock_options = {
    host: proxy.hostname,
    port: 1080,
    user: username,
    pass: pass
};

var sockConn = new SocksConnection(remote_options, sock_options);
var dbConnection = mysql.createConnection({
    user: 'dbuser',
    database: 'dbname',
    password: 'dbpassword',
    stream: sockConn
});
dbConnection.query('SELECT 1+1 as test1;', function(err, rows, fields) {
    if (err) throw err;

    console.log('Result: ', rows);
    sockConn.dispose();
});
dbConnection.end();
