[Qemu-devel] User-mode proxy support

[Ricardo Almeida]

Hello,

I'm using QEmu with user mode network. The host machine can't access
the Internet directly, only through a proxy server.
Since I'm using user mode network there's no way I can connect to the
proxy from inside the guest machine (is there?).
What I'm suggesting is building a proxy server (just as there is a DNS
and a SMB server) that in reality is just a package forwarder to the
real proxy server... I don't know if this easy to do, but it's what I
would like :)

Regards,
Ricardo Almeida

If you set the guest's default route to 10.0.2.2 then it should be able 
to reach your proxy server, perhaps using its IP address rather than 
hostname if you haven't set up DNS.
