How to Install SOCKS5Engine on Windows 10

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.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1 - Clone the Repository

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.

Step 2 - Install Dependencies

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.

Step 3 - Start the Server

To start the SOCKS5 proxy server, run the following command:

python server.py

This will start the server on the default port 1080.

Step 4 - Verify the Installation

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!
