SOCKS Proxy DNS Resolve Example

A simple CLI example demonstrating how to use socksgo to perform forward DNS lookups (hostname → IP address) through a SOCKS proxy using Tor's SOCKS extension.

Usage

go run . [options]

Options

• -proxy: SOCKS proxy URL (default: socks5://127.0.0.1:1080?tor)
• -host: Hostname to resolve (default: example.com)
• -timeout: Operation timeout (default: 30s)

Examples

Basic Forward Lookup

# Resolve hostname to any IP (IPv4 or IPv6)
go run . -proxy socks5://localhost:1080?tor -host example.com

With Authentication

# Use SOCKS proxy with authentication
go run . -proxy socks5://user:pass@localhost:1080?tor -host google.com

Tor Proxy

# Resolve through Tor daemon SOCKS proxy (default port 9050)
go run . -proxy socks5://localhost:9050?tor -host check.torproject.org

Notes

The ?tor URL option is required to enable Tor's SOCKS extension for DNS resolution. Without it, the LookupIP method will return an error.
