SOCKS proxy via SSh allows you to securely route your internet traffic through a remote server using the SSh protocol. This hides IP address and encrypt data over network it adds security and privacy. Procedure to create SOCKS service on local machine: 1). Connect to the Linux server via SSh using the command: ssh user@server-address 2). On the Linux server, run the command: ssh -D [port-number] -C -q -N [user]@[server-address]
to establish a dynamic port forwarding through SSh. This creates a SOCKS proxy on the local machine listening on the specified port. 3). Configure your client machine to use the SOCKS proxy by going to the network settings and specifying the IP address and port of the local machine as a SOCKS proxy server. 4). Test the connection by trying to access a website or network resource through the SOCKS proxy. To stop the proxy server, simply close the SSh connection. |
