Next guid helps you to install simple Socks5 proxy on Debian server in few steps. Proxy can be use for Telegram app, browser alternative gate or for another network application who supports proxy configuration.
Installing Dante package.
apt-get install dante-server
Configure server in /etc/danted.conf (delete existing code and insert this):
logoutput: stderr
internal: eth0
port = 1080
external: eth0
socksmethod: username
user.privileged: root
user.unprivileged: nobody
user.libwrap: nobody
client pass {
from: 0/0
to: 0/0
log: error
}
socks pass {
from: 0/0
to: 0/0
log: error
}
where,
socksmethod: username – use system users for proxy authorization.
user.privileged: root – use root access for load passwords.
Next step – create special nologin (this user restricted to SSH access) user.
useradd –shell /usr/sbin/nologin proxyuser
Setup user password.
passwd proxyuser
Add into autorun proxy server.
systemctl enable danted
Run service.
service danted start
Profit.
