SocksBin is an open source SOCKS5 server written in Go. It allows users to create a SOCKS5 proxy server to protect their online activities. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing SocksBin on NetBSD.
Before installing SocksBin, you need to make sure that you have the following:
Perform the following steps to install SocksBin on NetBSD:
Open a terminal and log in to your NetBSD server.
Ensure that your system is up to date by running the following commands:
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin upgrade
Install Go by executing the following command:
sudo pkgin install go
Clone the SocksBin repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/magnumdingusedu/socksbin.git
Change to the SocksBin directory by running the following command:
cd socksbin
Build and install SocksBin by running the following command:
go install
This will compile the SocksBin binary and install it to your $GOPATH/bin directory.
As a final step, you can start the server by running the following command:
socksbin
The default settings will launch the SOCKS5 server at 127.0.0.1:1080. You can modify these settings by using command line flags. For example, you can launch the server at 0.0.0.0:8080 by running the following command:
socksbin -addr 0.0.0.0:8080
Alternatively, you can specify these settings in a config file. Refer to the documentation on the SocksBin GitHub page for more information.
You have successfully installed SocksBin on your NetBSD server. You can now use this SOCKS5 server to protect your online activities.
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!
