Elipsa Do recent Kobo's support the TUN/TAP driver?

[dstaley]

I just purchased a Kobo Sage, and I'm looking at using the built-in web browser to access a few services that are only accessible on my local network. I use Tailscale (which is essentially Wireguard) which uses the mainline TUN/TAP driver from the Linux kernel.

Do modern Kobo's (based on the 4.9+ kernel) include the TUN/TAP driver/kernel module? If not, is that something that's relatively easy to compile and load in manually?

Alternatively, Tailscale supports user-mode networking via a SOCKS5 proxy. The Kobo Configuration Options page lists a "proxyUrl" configuration. Can I use this to connect to the locally-running SOCKS5 proxy and have the built-in web browser use that proxy?

Likely to be exactly the same on the Sage.

As for the config entry, I *think* it's similar to the global Qt5 PROXY env var or something, but I don't remember the details (it might have been discussed here in the past, though).

The proxyURL is mention by @geek1011 in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=4016674. He says it can be used for a SOCKS proxy. I haven't tried it. I run whenever someone mentions our work SOCKS proxies, so I'm not going there at home
