Using /dev/tcp with proxy

Question

Is it possible to use /dev/tcp with a proxy? I only found wget is possible to use with proxy, but wget doesn't work.

Answer 1

Just checked the sources of bash 4.2: the proxy support for /dev/tcp and /dev/udp is not implemented.

The only option you have is to start a copy of bash with tsocks library preloaded (see man tsocks for details)

So, you would also need to set up a socks proxy server.
