http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163088 Bug ID: 1163088 Summary: Add SOCK4|5 proxy parameters Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: dgonzalez@suse.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 829592 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=829592&action=edit Example of how could look This is a feature request done by Mikhail Kasimov via Github issue[1]. I'm just transferring it here.

The idea is not unique, but is inspired by Firefox native proxy settings window, which has such field by default -- address:port.

Additional options to be good to have here:

1. sites, CIDRs exclude-list.

2. sites, CIDRs include-list.

SOCK4|5 switcher is radio-button.

Something like this:

(see attached image)

Real story as the reason to have this: A couple of days ago my ISP changed some settings on his side and some IPs, including mine, went to ban-list, but connection via SOCK5 was fine. But I couldn't get system updates via zypper. So, having such setting for zypper seems to be right idea: user sets his socks4|5 proxy connection via yast-proxy module and can have up-to-dated system.
