Socks Proxy
If you are looking at implementing Nym as a transport layer for a crypto wallet or desktop app, this is probably the best place to start if they can speak SOCKS5, 4a, or 4.
You can find this code here (opens in a new tab)
use nym_sdk::mixnet;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
nym_bin_common::logging::setup_logging();
println!("Connecting receiver");
let mut receiving_client = mixnet::MixnetClient::connect_new().await.unwrap();
let socks5_config = mixnet::Socks5::new(receiving_client.nym_address().to_string());
let sending_client = mixnet::MixnetClientBuilder::new_ephemeral()
.socks5_config(socks5_config)
.build()
.unwrap();
println!("Connecting sender");
let sending_client = sending_client.connect_to_mixnet_via_socks5().await.unwrap();
let proxy = reqwest::Proxy::all(sending_client.socks5_url()).unwrap();
let reqwest_client = reqwest::Client::builder().proxy(proxy).build().unwrap();
tokio::spawn(async move {
println!("Sending socks5-wrapped http request");
// Message should be sent through the mixnet, via socks5
// We don't expect to get anything, as there is no network requester on the other end
reqwest_client.get("https://nymtech.net").send().await.ok()
});
println!("Waiting for message");
if let Some(received) = receiving_client.wait_for_messages().await {
for r in received {
println!(
"Received socks5 message requesting for endpoint: {}",
String::from_utf8_lossy(&r.message[10..27])
);
}
}
receiving_client.disconnect().await;
sending_client.disconnect().await;
}
