About

To build a socks5 server, we have lots of open-source programs to reach that, Dante is one of them. I have been using Dante for years and starting to write this auto-install and management script two years ago. This is the second update to match the systemd and new OS release like Debian 8 , CentOS 7.

Comparing with the apt-get or building from source manually, this script will benefit you bellow

• Auto-recognize, detect the machine's system automatically and compile from source code.
• Auto-config, check the system's network or read from argument to auto-generate config file.
• Same-rotation, in multi-ipaddr system. It works like when using different ip address to connect socks5, your external ip address will be different. That's the main reason why I using Dante for years.
• Multi-authorization, you can configure authorization by pam, system or using whitelist.
• Docker support [New]
• Support Dante Latest version 1.4.3 [New]

Install by Docker
