Create SOCKS5 server

Posted by on Feb 1, 2012 in linux | 14 comments

Distribution used: Debian 6 (squeeze). Unfortunately Debian 5 (lenny) doesn’t provide dante server

In the previous post, I’ve shown you on how to create your own SOCKS5 server on localhost (on your Windows PC) using XShell 4 and a SSH server.

Now, I’ll guide you on how to create a more permanent SOCKS5 proxy server using your Debian 6 squeeze server. No need to logged-in to your SSH server each time you want to use SOCKS5 server. We will use Dante server.

Install dante-server

1

apt-get install dante-server

edit dante server configuration file (/etc/danted.conf). This is the minimum dante server configuration that I often use:

# the server will log both via syslog, to stdout and to /var/log/lotsoflogs
#logoutput: syslog stdout /var/log/lotsoflogs
logoutput: syslog
 
# The server will bind to the address 10.1.1.1, port 1080 and will only
# accept connections going to that address.
internal: eth0 port = 2727
 
 
# outgoing connection
external: eth0
 
# methods for socks-rules.
method: username none #rfc931
 
 
user.privileged: proxy
 
user.notprivileged: nobody
 
user.libwrap: nobody
 
# client IP addresses that allowed to use this service
client pass {
    from: 114.79.0.0/16 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0
}
 
client pass {
    from: 127.0.0.0/8 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0
}
 
 
# block everyone else
client block {
	from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
	log: connect error
}
 
 
block {
	from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 127.0.0.0/8
	log: connect error
}
 
#allow client to connect to all ip addres/site via this proxy
pass {
    from: 114.79.0.0/16 to: 0.0.0.0/0
    protocol: tcp udp
}
 
pass {
    from: 127.0.0.0/8 to: 0.0.0.0/0
    protocol: tcp udp
}
 
block {
    from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
    log: connect error
}

Done. Start dante server.

1

service danted start

A bit explanation about the configuration: 

  • watch for line #8. you must specify in what port number will your SOCKS5 server run and in which ethernet card the server will listen. You can change this “eth0″ with your server IP address. Note: if you have firewall activated, don’t forget to allow traffic from the SOCKS5 proxy port as you configured here.
  • As for line #12, the value should the same as line #8, either ethernet card name or your server IP address.
  • Line #26, change “114.79.0.0/16″ with your own (public) IP address. I specified IP address range here because I have dynamic IP address.
  • Line #48, the same as line #26. Put your (public) IP address here.

 

 

Test your SOCKS5 proxy server. Use it as SOCKS5 proxy in Firefox and access http://reverse.vrank.org/ipinfo.php . Check if your IP address is already detected as the same as server’s IP.

          That’s because you’re running Debian 5 (Lenny)
          dante-server is available in Debian 4 (etch) and Debian 6 (squeeze)

    The problem is, i have a lunix dedicated server and some additional ips.

    I would like these additional ips to act as a socks-5 proxy on manually assigned ports.

    To further explain this, an example would be, i have a server and these 5 additional ips
    ip1 – 10.56.7.1
    ip2 – 10.56.7.2
    ip3 – 10.56.7.3
    ip4 – 10.56.7.4
    ip5 – 10.56.7.5

    Now i want to manually assign/open random ports to these ips example

    ip1 – 10.56.7.1:1115
    ip2 – 10.56.7.1:6089
    ip3 – 10.56.7.1:7785
    ip4 – 10.56.7.1:10221
    ip5 – 10.56.7.1:15518

    A) dont know how to do this ? so need help

    B) and lastly, i would like these additional ips to be able to take UDP/TCP traffic. Again dont know how to do this and your assistance / guidance.

    Thanks,
    Zak

    Mas, kalau server kita di HTTP flood sama bot net (bisa di atasi sama iptables dan fail2ban *kalau tanpa 2 itu vps langsung down) sudah 1 mingguan ini, cara ngatasin gimana biar ga nyerang terus.Selama firewall ON, kuat sih ngatasin bot net, cuman kayak nyamuk …

    Thanks
