What is socks5 VPN?
SOCKS5 is an internet protocol which routes packets
between a server and a client using a proxy server. To put it simply – your data is routed through proxy server that generates an arbitrary IP address before you reach your destination. ... Related: Difference between VPN and Proxy Explained.
How can I use socks5?
SOCKS5 is just a transport protocol on top of TCP/UDP but below application layer. Thus it's comparable with TCP and UDP, too. There's no inherent encryption in SOCKS, but you application has to care about this (it's not a VPN technology, but a proxy at last).
What is the use of socks proxy?
A SOCKS server is a general purpose proxy server that establishes a TCP connection to another server on behalf of a client, then routes all the traffic back and forth between the client and the server. It works for any kind of network protocol on any port. SOCKS Version 5 adds additional support for security and UDP.
How do I know that the proxy socks is working?
If you created the proxy by yourself you should first of all check whether there is an open port (the p argument only works if the concerning process is yours or you are root):
netstat -tlnp
This should give you a line like: (I have a proxy on localhost:8888)
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
If you found such a line or the proxy isn't yours, try sending packets through it. For example request a web page with curl:
curl --socks5 localhost:8888 binfalse.de
Should output some HTML stuff. Hope this helps to search for mistakes ;-)
Aux: For my example I created the proxy via:
ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -D8888 someone@somewhere
Replace someone with your username and somewhere with your destination server. Of course using OpenSSH is just one method in a bunch of possible socks5 proxies.
