Anonymity Personal SOCKS5 Proxy.

[Fixxx]

This example will use a VPS running Ubuntu 22.04. So, let's get started. Connect to your server via SSH using the command:

ssh root@ip_of_the_server ​

Enter your password and you will be logged into the server. First, you need to update the server using the command:

apt update && apt full-upgrade ​

Now install the software needed for the proxy server using the following command:

apt install dante-server ​

Now you need to edit the proxy server configuration. Open the file danted.conf in the nano editor using the following command:

nano danted.conf​

The configuration file will open - delete ALL lines in it so that it's an empty file. After that paste the following lines into it:

​

logoutput: /var/log/socks.log​

internal: eth0 port = 1080​

external: eth0​

socksmethod: username​

user.privileged: root​

user.unprivileged: nobody​

client pass {​

from: 0.0.0.0/0 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0​

log: error​

socksmethod: username​

}​

socks pass {​

from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0​

command: bind connect udpassociate​

log: error​

socksmethod: username​

}​

socks pass {​

from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0​

command: bindreply udpreply​

log: error​

}​

You can change the port, the eth0 interface needs to be replaced if you use another interface to access the network. You can check this with the command:

ip link ​

Now you need to create a user for the proxy - this is done with the command:

useradd --shell /usr/sbin/nologin -m sockduser && passwd sockduser ​

The system will ask for a password for the user - come up with one and enter it. Now restart the service with the command:

systemctl restart danted ​

Now everything is ready - you can connect to your SOCKS5 proxy.
