Other applications

If your internet application does not support any proxy settings, you can use proxyfier tools to redirect the traffic to JonDonym. Normally it works only with premium services. You can only route traffic through the free services which goes to destination port 80 or 443. These ports are mostly used for web browsing. Other Internet protocols are using different ports.

For Windows you can use WideCap to proxify your application. For Linux/UNIX proxychains is recommended.

Configuration settings for WideCap or proxychains:

  • Proxy type: HTTP
  • Hostname/IP address: 127.0.0.1
  • Port: 4001 (Attention: If you have set up a different listen port than 4001 in JonDo you need to enter it here instead of 4001, too.)

proxychains for Linux/UNIX

All Linux and UNIX distributions contain proxychains. You can install it with the package manager of your distribution. For Debian and Ubuntu you can do this job with aptitude:

sudo aptitude install proxychains

Afterwards you have to create a configuration file and save it in $(HOME)/.proxychains/proxychains.conf

strict_chain
proxy_dns
[ProxyList]
http 127.0.0.1 4001

To redirect all traffic of an application to JonDonym, you can start it under control of proxychains. For an example, you can manage your server with unobserved SSH by

proxychains ssh user@server.tld

Or using the instant messenger kopete by

proxychains kopete
