Hi! I'm trying to mine beyond firewall and proxy, so i use tor's vidalia to connect to the work servers.
Intresting detail - if we have an http and stratum proxy on mining pool, http redirects cgminer to stratum, and cgminer works correctly.
But if we have "plain stratum", cgminer can not conect to it through tor's socks5. For example, I'm mining LTC on litepool.ru right now. I connect to it through 8337 port, old getwork protocol. I used to mine on 50btc.com, where was getting connect throug old port too.
But when i trying to connetc to liteguard.com, which have only plain strtum proto, cgminer says "credentials are invalid" or pool is down.
If you teach it to work with stratum through socks5, it will be superior!
