SocksBin is a free and open-source tool designed to allow users to forward TCP connections over an encrypted SOCKS5 connection. SocksBin is typically used to tunnel traffic over a VPN or to bypass censorship and content filtering.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing SocksBin on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we begin, it is necessary to have the following:
The first step is to install the prerequisites. Open the terminal and execute the following command to update the system:
sudo swupd update
Next, we need to install the necessary dependencies using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add curl make gcc-basic
To download SocksBin, we will use the curl command. Execute the following command in your terminal to download the latest version of SocksBin from Github:
curl -LJO https://github.com/magnumdingusedu/socksbin/releases/latest/download/socksbin-linux-x64.tar.gz
After the download is complete, we need to extract the files from the tar.gz archive. Use the following command to extract the files:
tar -zxvf socksbin-linux-x64.tar.gz
Once we have extracted the files, we need to navigate to the newly created directory. Use the following command to change the directory:
cd socksbin-linux-x64
In the directory, we will find the socksbin executable file. To install SocksBin, we need to copy this file to the /usr/local/bin/ directory using the following command:
sudo cp socksbin /usr/local/bin/socksbin
Now that we have installed SocksBin, we need to set the appropriate permissions for the executable file. Execute the following command in the terminal to set the necessary permissions:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/socksbin
To verify that SocksBin is successfully installed on your Clear Linux Latest, execute the following command to verify the version number:
socksbin --version
If the command returns the version number of SocksBin, then the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps required to install the SocksBin tool on Clear Linux Latest. Now that the installation is complete, you can configure and use the tool for your specific use case.
