The Socks5 proxy has a high degree of utility and security in network access. This article describes in detail how to configure the Socks5 proxy server using the dante software on a Debian system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I. Installing the dante server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First update the system package index and upgrade the installed software:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

apt update\napt upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, install the dante-server package:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt install dante-server<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Configuring the dante service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Backup and create a new configuration file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To avoid service unavailability due to configuration errors, backup the original configuration file first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cp \/etc\/danted.conf \/etc\/danted.conf_orig\nrm \/etc\/danted.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Use the nano editor to create a new configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nano \/etc\/danted.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Configuration file contents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Enter the following in the file that opens, taking care to replace eth0 with the actual NIC name of the server:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
logoutput: syslog\nuser.privileged: root\nuser.unprivileged: nobody\n\nNetwork interfaces and ports that # listens on\ninternal: 0.0.0.0 port=1080\n\n# proxy network interface or address\nexternal: eth0\n\n# proxy authentication method\nsocksmethod: username\n\n# Client connection rules\nclientmethod: none\n\nclient pass {\n    from: 0.0.0.0\/0 to: 0.0.0.0\/0\n}\n\nsocks pass {\n    from: 0.0.0.0\/0 to: 0.0.0.0\/0\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
3. Adding authenticated users<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Create a dedicated user for the proxy service and set a password:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
useradd -r -s \/bin\/false proxy_user\npasswd proxy_user<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
4. Restricting access to specific IPs (optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you need to allow only certain IPs to connect to the proxy, you can modify the client pass rule in the configuration file to replace thexxx.111.xxx.222<\/code>Replace with the IP address of the allowed connection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
client pass {\n    from: xxx.111.xxx.222\/0 to: 0.0.0.0\/0\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
III. Configuring Firewall Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Using iptables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Allow incoming and outgoing traffic on port 1080 of the TCP protocol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1080 -j ACCEPT\niptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 1080 -j ACCEPT\n\n# Save rule\nservice iptables save<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Use of ufw<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
ufw allow 1080<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
IV. Restarting and verifying services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Restart the dante service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
systemctl restart danted.service<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Viewing the status of services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
systemctl status danted.service\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Normally it will show that the service is actively running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf danted.service - SOCKS (v4 and v5) proxy daemon (danted)\n     Loaded: loaded (\/lib\/systemd\/system\/danted.service; enabled; preset: enabled)\n     Active: active (running)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
V. Client connection test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Testing with curl<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
curl -v -x socks5:\/\/proxy_user:password@xxx.123.xxx.123:1080 http:\/\/google.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If the connection is successful, something similar to the following is displayed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
* Trying xxx.123.xxx.123:1080...\n* Connected to xxx.123.xxx.123 (xxx.123.xxx.123) port 1080 (#0)\n* SOCKS5 connect to IPv4 64.233.165.106:80 (locally resolved)\n* SOCKS5 request granted.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Browser configuration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Take Firefox as an example, go to \"Options\"->\"Network Settings\", select \"Manually Configure Proxy\", fill in the server IP in \"SOCKS Host\", and select \"SOCKS5\" protocol in \"Port 1080\". In \"SOCKS Host\", fill in the server IP, port 1080, select \"SOCKS5\" protocol, and check \"Use the same proxy for all protocols\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the above steps, you can successfully configure the dante Socks5 proxy server on your Debian system. In practice, you can further adjust the access rules and security settings according to your needs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
