dask-distributed client socks proxies

My scheduler is not reachable by the public web, I actually use a SOCKS5 proxy to reach it. The reason is, i’m limited by the number of public IPs I can have at one time. To perform my task, I’m using dask.distributed.Client.

• I used to use ngrok to poke more holes but now I’ve reached the limit of how many ngrok tunnels I can have at the same time too.
• Using socks4 or socks5 with dask.distributed.Client context manager did not work, or maybe i’m doing something wrong?

Perhaps this is a dumb question, but I did not find information about this in the documentation. https://distributed.dask.org/en/latest/local-cluster.html and https://distributed.dask.org/en/latest/client.html

Is there a way to add a socks proxy?

Hi @deepio , my apologies for the delay in response here.

cc’ing @jacobtomlinson , when you’re back from the holidays could you weigh in here?

What a great service (serveo), thank you for bringing this one to my attention. It’s too bad that it is currently disabled. Hopefully will see it in action in a few days though.

Dask has implemented many things I would need to program myself, I’m quite thankful that this exists! I’m not quite sure where to begin looking at the codebase but if I can help with implementing socks i’d be glad to help.
