Is it possible to use iptables on kobo?
I want to proxify connections from my device and the first thing I need is some iptables configs.

Frenzie · 07-27-2020, 08:06 AM

The Kobo kernel didn't used to support iptables iirc but of course things can change. Shouldn't take very long to figure out though?

sb1370 · 07-27-2020, 04:44 PM

Do you know any way to use proxy or vpn on kobo?

What would be the point of that?

Bypassing Internet restrictions (in my case even Kobo servers are blocked!)

Qt5 *should* honor the http_proxy env var, but that may not be enough to cover all bases, and/or it might actually be ignored if Nickel does some funky non-standard stuff (and will require patching the init script to export it before Nickel starts).

I found a built-in config setting: [General] -> proxyUrl. It takes a normal protocol://host:port proxy address (it supports SOCKS/HTTP/HTTPS).

I checked the kernel config of my device at kobo github:
# CONFIG_NETFILTER is not set

I don't think http alone would be useful to bypass.

I think https_proxy and ftp_proxy (and anything else I may be forgetting otoh) is implied.

How can I access it?

I haven't used this but from @geek1011's post, you would add a line in the [General] section of the Kobo eReader.conf file found in .kobo/Kobo with proxyUrl=protocol://host:port address. A sample might look like:

Code:

[General]
proxyUrl=https://somewheres.net:8083

It partially works, store loads well but sync stucks at connecting or checking... and finally fails.
BTW I was looking for a way to proxify other apps like Ultimate Manga Reader. It seems that http_proxy=socks5h:// does the trick, but the app can't handle it. I will discuss it with the devs.

Is there anyway to set environment variables with kobo start menu? I tried using a shell script with export... but it doesn't retain the variables (they are deleted after script execution.) I want to see if nickel does work with http_proxy ?

Thank you for your helps.

Hey thanks for all your work on this stuff.
I recently decided to modernize the tools on my kobo.
Unfortunately I have some problems. SSH over Wifi works great. But when I try to SSH over usb using the usbnet script I get an no matching cyfer found error.
Any idea what is the cause of this?

NiLuJe · 01-16-2021, 08:53 AM

Are you sure you're setting up the interface properly on your end? That vaguely looks like you're attempting to connect to a completely different machine

.

(The sshd is the same, there's no reason it'd work over wifi but not usbnet

).
