Redsocks IP Tables

[vertigo888]

Hi,

I've installed redsocks on my merlin firmware router (AC5300) but for the life of me I cannot get the below command to work:

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner test -j REDSOCKS

I receive the error: "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name"

The user "test" does exist in /opt/etc/passw

Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you create the chain first?

iptables -t nat -N REDSOCKS

iptables -t nat -N REDSOCKS

Yes the chain already exists

There is probably no support in the firmware for xt_owner netfilter module.

Thanks for the clarification

Would you know of any other way of "socksifying" an application that uses tcp and udp? I have an application that does not use static ports and would like to use an externally hosted socks5 proxy that requires user authentication. Or would there be anything else that you'd suggest? Appreciate the assistance so far.
