SOCKS toolkit for Rust

A work-in-progress SOCKS toolkit for Rust. SOCKS5 (rfc1928) and SOCKS6 (draft-11) are supported.

Documentation

Client Usage

Example client usage can be found in ./socksx/examples/client.rs. To run the example, use the following command:

cargo run --example client -- --host 172.16.238.4 --port 1080 --dest_host 172.16.238.5 --dest_port 12345 --src_port 12346

Note: The ip addresses are just examples, you should use your own ip addresses. I created a docker network and assigned ip addresses to the containers.

Server Usage

Building the binary

To build the binary, run the following command:

cargo build --release

To run the binary, run the following command:

./target/release/socksx --host 0.0.0.0 --port 1080 --protocol socks5

If you want to using the chaining feature, you can run the following command:

./target/release/socksx --host 0.0.0.0 --port 1080 --protocol socks6 --chain socks6://145.10.0.1:1080

Docker Image Build

To build the Docker image for the proxy service, use the following command:

(The Dockerfile is located at the root of the repository)

docker build -t proxy:latest -f Dockerfile .

Create a Docker network named net with a specified subnet.

docker network create --subnet=172.16.238.0/24 net

To run the Docker container, use the following command:

docker run --network=net --ip=172.16.238.2 -p 1080:1080 --name proxy proxy:latest --host 0.0.0.0 --port 1080

Make sure to run these commands in the correct sequence: build the image, create the network, and then run the container.

Docker Compose

Check out the docker-compose-proxy.yml or docker-compose-extensive.yml file at the root of the repository for an example of how to use the proxy service with Docker Compose.

TODO

• make socksx work for macOS
• support chaining in socks 5
• add badge for coverage (coveralls)
• add badge for crates link
• add badge for CI status (github actions)
• add badge for docs.rs and documentation link
