GoSƐ is a secure and privacy-focused HTTP proxy server that can be beneficial to organizations and individuals who place a premium on online privacy. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps needed to install GoSƐ on Ubuntu Server.
Before we start, we should ensure that our system is up-to-date. We can run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
We also need to install some dependencies required to build the binary from the source.
sudo apt install build-essential cmake libssl-dev pkg-config git
We can now proceed with the installation of GoSƐ. First, we need to clone the Git repository:
git clone https://github.com/stv0g/gose.git
Next, we change the directory and submodules:
cd gose
git submodule update --init
We can then use CMake to configure the build:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
Finally, we can build the binary:
make
The binary will be available in the build/gose directory. We can run it using the following command:
./gose
That's it. We have successfully installed GoSƐ on Ubuntu Server.
By default, GoSƐ listens on port 10080. We can open our web browser and configure its proxy settings to use localhost:10080. After this, all web traffic will be routed through GoSƐ.
GoSƐ comes with some default settings. However, we can modify them by creating a gose.toml file in the same directory as the binary. We can use the sample settings provided in the repository to get started:
[proxy]
listen = "0.0.0.0:10080"
forwards = ["%s"]
loglevel = "info"
timeout = 30
maxconnections = 100
keepalivetimeout = 4
[mitm]
skip = ["localhost", "127.*", "::1", "[::1]"]
GoSƐ is a powerful tool that can help you protect your online privacy. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you should be able to install and configure GoSƐ on Ubuntu Server. Remember to always keep your system up-to-date with the latest patches and upgrades.
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!
