In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Socks5-Proxy-Server on Clear Linux Latest. Sock5-Proxy-Server is a free and open-source SOCKS5 server written in C++ and available on GitHub.
Before we begin with the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
To start with the installation process, we first need to install Git, a version control system used to clone the necessary repository. You can install Git using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add git
Once you have installed Git, you need to clone the Socks5-Proxy-Server repository from GitHub. You can clone the repository using the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/nskondratev/socks5-proxy-server.git
cd socks5-proxy-server
After cloning the repository, you need to build the server. You can do that using the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
After compiling the server, we need to configure the Socks5-Proxy-Server with the appropriate settings. In the build directory, create a new file named config.cfg with the following content:
# If the proxy needs to authenticate, set the username and password
username=yourusername
password=yourpassword
# The IP address and port number the Socks5-Proxy-Server is running on
listen=0.0.0.0:1080
# The IP address and port number to forward the traffic to
forward=yourserverip:8080
Save the changes and close the file.
Finally, run the Socks5-Proxy-Server using the following command:
./socks5-proxy-server config.cfg
Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Socks5-Proxy-Server on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use this server as a proxy server to route your internet traffic.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
