SocksBin is a multi-threaded and high-performance SOCKS5 proxy server, which is designed to provide anonymity to users who access the Internet. Here are the steps you can follow to install SocksBin on Linux Mint Latest.
Before we proceed with SocksBin installation, we need to ensure that some packages are already installed on our system. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake
Clone the SocksBin repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/magnumdingusedu/socksbin.git
Change the current working directory to socksbin.
cd socksbin
Use cmake to build the project.
cmake CMakeLists.txt
Compile the project.
make
Once the compilation is complete, you can start using the SocksBin by running the following command:
./socksbin
By default, SocksBin listen on 127.0.0.1 and port 1080 for incoming connections. If you want to customize these settings, you need to modify the configuration file located at conf/socksbin.conf.
Here's how you can change the listening address and port:
Open the configuration file using a text editor.
nano conf/socksbin.conf
Update the listen_address and listen_port parameters according to your preference.
listen_address = 0.0.0.0
listen_port = 8080
Save the changes and close the configuration file.
Note that modifying the configuration file requires restarting the SocksBin server for the changes to take effect.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install and configure SocksBin on Linux Mint Latest. By following these steps, you can easily set up a SOCKS5 proxy server on your system to provide anonymity to Internet users.
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!
