Handle "Open TCP port scan" via proxy set in config.php

[nocte]

In config.php you can set a proxy:

$config['http']['proxy'] =

Wouldn't it make sense to use this proxy for "Open TCP port scan" instead of running a script on an external server?

P.S. same for "Hostname" lookup (for which is no script provided).

The port scan script directly uses sockets to make multiple requests at once instead of a connection at a time which it could do via the standard http proxy.

So for technically reasons this isn't really suitable.

P.S. same for "Hostname" lookup (for which is no script provided).

This just uses standard DNS lookups, you can easily setuip a DNS recursor locally for it to use.

Thank you, @Xon!

I will discuss this with my team.
