Summary: SOCKS is broken Product: Wine Version: 1.1.19 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: winsock AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: cankoy@ymail.com
SOCKS is broken as of 1.1.19. Freecap no longer socksifies the apps registered to it; i.e. the connections are direct (not thru the SOCKS server defined). This problem also exists in 1.1.20.
To repeat: 1. Install Freecap (Sockscap does not work under Wine) 2. Set a Socks5 server as proxy in Freecap settings (tor will do) 3. Socksify "iexplore.exe" to a website that shows your IP address, like http://displayip.net 4. Under Wine 1.1.19/20, you see your own IP address, whereas under 1.1.18 the proxy address is shown.
