How to use ipv6 proxies with proxychains?

I just bought some for the first time since my mobile connection only has v6 routing.

The proxies came in a strange syntax to what I am used to as the proxies were each in square brackets.

So I am not sure how to format the proxychains.conf?

When I put the bracketed proxies in it would make an error that none numerical values cannot be used. When I take the brackets out then the proxies will just timeout.

I looked on the github and it says ipv6 proxies are fully supported but have not been able to find how you are supposed to format the .conf file to use them?

Re: How to use ipv6 proxies with proxychains?

don't know ehy one would use it, but:
tge config seem to use a tuple of
<protocol> <host> <port>
so, an example would be
SOCKS5 2001::dead:beef 8080

It is very handy when proxies don't work for a certain program so you can just wrap proxychains ahead of it or use it from the command line on programs you want to proxify.

Yea I know the usual syntax for it as have used for ipv4 for years. The problem is it does not like the ipv6 addresses. Not sure how they are supposed to be fed to it.

I just gave you an example - what's the issue with it?

The host is the issue. Ipv6 proxies will just timeout whereas ipv4 it accepts. If I try other permutations like adding quotes then it will fail saying none numeric ips are not allowed.

then you likely don't have ipv6 connectivity
what does https://ipv6-test.com/ give you as a result without any shenanigangs enabled in between?

Ok, cool working now. I was using the home internet connection which is not ipv6 only. I switched to test mobile connection and it works.

Thanks for the pointers.

Issue now is that many pages do not load with secure connection failed. Is that because they simply don't have ipv6 ready pages? I tried on duckduckgo which i would have expected to have it but just took a quick search and seems they don't.

So I am restricted to sites that are ipv6 ready only or is there some workaround to translate other sites?
