Nginx version 1.27.1 - still the same problem.

Is there any planned solution for this bug?
Or another option that will allow forwarding from http to socks5 in nginx?

@SkowRon96 You can use proxy tunnel tools such as Gost. Following will create HTTP proxy and forward all request to socks5.

gost -L http://127.0.0.1:8081 -F socks5://127.0.0.1:9050

On nginx then you could do:

proxy_pass "http://127.0.0.1:8081";

@SkowRon96 there was a lot of changes in nginx core since this module last release. I've started a complete rewrite but it's not ready yet. Maybe I'll finish it next year. Unfortunately I don't have enough free time now and I'm not willing to release something half-baked.

Also @harryqt is correct on that you can proxy your requests via something else. You could use, for instance, a transparent proxy like I did in abiko/tor2web.
