SOCKS5Engine is an open-source SOCKS5 proxy server written in Python. It is designed to be fast, easy to use, and customizable. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing SOCKS5Engine on Windows 10.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to clone the SOCKS5Engine repository from GitHub. To do this, open your Command Prompt and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/VeeSecurity/SOCKS5Engine.git
This will download the repository to your local machine.
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the root directory of the project using the Command Prompt. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the dependencies required by SOCKS5Engine.
To start the SOCKS5 proxy server, run the following command:
python server.py
This will start the server on the default port 1080
.
To verify that the installation was successful, open a web browser and go to the settings page. Under the proxy settings, enter localhost
for the proxy server and 1080
for the port. Try accessing a website and check if it is being redirected through the SOCKS5 proxy server.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed SOCKS5Engine on Windows 10! You can now use it to tunnel your internet traffic through a secure and encrypted connection.
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!
