Firefox and nmcSocks

[dtoren]

You can use Firefox with nmcSocks without FoxyProxy (or other addons) by going to a little bit more work:

1. Go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings
2. Select "Manual proxy configuration" and use 127.0.0.1 as a SOCKS host and 9055 as the port
3. Add the following to "No proxy for:"

   Code: Select all

   .aero, .asia, .biz, .cat, .com, .coop, .info, .int, .jobs, .mobi, .museum, .name, .net, .org, .pro, .tel , .travel, .xxx

4. Go to the about:config URL
5. Add a new boolean key set to true called "network.proxy.socks_remote_dns"

Configure Namecoin's bitcoin.conf with the following:

Code: Select all

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=8336
irc=1
nolisten=1
dnsseed=1
daemon=1

as usual.

Start nmcSocks (probably from a batch file) and you're set to start resolving all non-ICANN domains through nmcSocks. If you use OpenNIC nameservers like I do, you also want to add the following to "No proxy for:"

Code: Select all

.bbs, .bzh, .dyn, .free, .fur, .geek, .gopher, .indy, .ing, .micro, .null, .opennic.glue, .oss, .parody

sweet.

some country domains should be added to the exclude list.

what does nmcSocks do with unknown domains? maybe it would be easier to have all unknown domains relayed to the normal DNS by nmcSocks.

Ah. I forgot to add CCtlds. I just grabbed a list from Wikipedia

I visited a .se and got there just fine. Maybe you don't need the exclusions at all /checks...

You don't seem to need the exclusion list at all. I couldn't give you a technical reason though.

EDIT: ccTLDs are as follows:

Code: Select all

.ac, .ad, .ae, .af, .ag, .ai, .al, .am, .an, .ao, .aq, .ar, .as, .at, .au, .aw, .ax, .az, .ba, .bb, .bd, .be, .bf, .bg, .bh, .bi, .bj, .bm, .bn, .bo, .br, .bs, .bt, .bv, .bw, .by, .bz, .ca, .cc, .cd, .cf, .cg, .ch, .ci, .ck, .cl, .cm, .cn, .co, .cr, .cs, .cu, .cv, .cx, .cy, .cz, .dd, .de, .dj, .dk, .dm, .do, .dz, .ec, .ee, .eg, .eh, .er, .es, .et, .eu, .fi, .fj, .fk, .fm, .fo, .fr, .ga, .gb, .gd, .ge, .gf, .gg, .gh, .gi, .gl, .gm, .gn, .gp, .gq, .gr, .gs, .gt, .gu, .gw, .gy, .hk, .hm, .hn, .hr, .ht, .hu, .id, .ie, .il, .im, .in, .io, .iq, .ir, .is, .it, .je, .jm, .jo, .jp, .ke, .kg, .kh, .ki, .km, .kn, .kp, .kr, .kw, .ky, .kz, .la, .lb, .lc, .li, .lk, .lr, .ls, .lt, .lu, .lv, .ly, .ma, .mc, .md, .me, .mg, .mh, .mk, .ml, .mm, .mn, .mo, .mp, .mq, .mr, .ms, .mt, .mu, .mv, .mw, .mx, .my, .mz, .na, .nc, .ne, .nf, .ng, .ni, .nl, .no, .np, .nr, .nu, .nz, .om, .pa, .pe, .pf, .pg, .ph, .pk, .pl, .pm, .pn, .pr, .ps, .pt, .pw, .py, .qa, .re, .ro, .rs, .ru, .rw, .sa, .sb, .sc, .sd, .se, .sg, .sh, .si, .sj, .sk, .sl, .sm, .sn, .so, .sr, .ss, .st, .su, .sv, .sy, .sz, .tc, .td, .tf, .tg, .th, .tj, .tk, .tl, .tm, .tn, .to, .tp, .tr, .tt, .tv, .tw, .tz, .ua, .ug, .uk, .us, .uy, .uz, .va, .vc, .ve, .vg, .vi, .vn, .vu, .wf, .ws, .ye, .yt, .yu, .za, .zm, .zw

probably nmcSocks uses your default dns for unknown domains.

so this means with namecoind, nmcSocks and firefox you are good to go completely dns independent. and the configuration seems quite easy.
