C# TcpClient.Connect via a proxy

Question

I\'ve searched high and low trying to figure this out, but everything I\'ve seen so far, people are just telling me to use other methods.

With that out of the way,

Answer 1

I use starksoft-aspen. It's free and open-source.

In the example below the TcpClient initialized within "CreateConnection()" method, but you can also initialize the client by yourself, as well as do it all async.

using Starksoft.Aspen.Proxy;

    Socks5ProxyClient proxyClient = new Socks5ProxyClient(
        socks5Proxy.Host, socks5Proxy.Port, 
        socks5Proxy.Username, socks5Proxy.Password);

    TcpClient client = proxyClient.CreateConnection(destination.Host, 
        destination.Port);
    NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
