Proxy support

[denics]

Hi and thanks for the nice work. Is it possible to add proxy support to nheqminer?

Hi @denics, what is the setup exactly or which pools are you trying to connect? Are you unable to connect "stratum+tcp" ports of pools because of port restrictions in your environment?

[denics]

@kozyilmaz , yes, thanks. my environment use a http_proxy and I did not find how to make nheqminer through

@denics as far as I understand you need to route miner's tcp traffic (stratum connection) through http proxies, assuming the pool you are trying to connect does not provide 80/443 port options. Can you check this project https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng

@denics I tested with a public http proxy that supports "connect" and nheqminer combined with proxychains works! This is the command line I used:

./bin/proxychains4 -f etc/proxychains.conf ./bin/nheqminer -l zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u WORKERNAME -p PASSWORD -t 1 -d 0

with the result:

and this is the proxychains configuration file change I made:

@denics Any chance to miner test with proxychains?

[denics]

Hi @kozyilmaz it is working! I think you should add this in the instructions.

[kozyilmaz]

@denics Great! I can add proxychains to the build as a separate package if you like
