Description

Let's say before connecting to OpenVPN that is installed on my VPS I have to supply a Socks5 proxy that my company gave me. like: socks-proxy 89.84.23.12:1080

How do I use my socks5 as a middle man before reaching Brook Wsserver?

On my VPS where Brook is install I ran: brook wsserver --listen :443 --password hello --path /ws

On my client I tried:
.\brook.exe wsclient --socks5 127.0.0.1:9090 -s ws://my.vps.ip:443 --password hello --socks5ServerIP 89.84.23.12:1080

And then I got: lookup 89.84.23.12:1080: no such host

Now I'm confused as I thought --socks5ServerIP will be my upstream Socks5 (The one I need to my company gave me to access the internet)

My question is: How to make use of your upstream proxy on the Brook client, be it Socks5 or HTTP/(s) as a middle man before reaching Brook Wsserver ?

Research direction

Review the wsclient command and its --socks5 and --socks5ServerIP arguments, using the reported wsserver invocation as the connection target. No source files or tests are named, so first locate the wsclient entry point and determine the intended upstream SOCKS5 and HTTP/(S) proxy behavior; done means a client can connect through the upstream proxy without the reported host lookup error.
