Re: Socks5 Proxy Recommendations?

We use Mac OS X Tiger server as SSH + SOCKS5 server. Tiger can attach to AD or LDAP server for authentication. On Tiger 
server, attach it to AD/LDAP and turn on SSH server option then it's ready for use. On client side (Win, OS X or *nix) 
use Putty or built-in ssh client to connect to the Tiger server via SSH to use SOCKS5. Follow the link as an example of 
how to setup a SOCKS5 client (Firefox) to connect to this Tiger SOCKS5 server.

All your SOCKS5 traffic will be encrypted via ssh from the client to the ssh server.

Subject: [SECURITY] Socks5 Proxy Recommendations?



Good day,

 

As part of a project we are working on, we would like to bring up a SOCKS5 server as a "stage1" workaround for problems 
people encounter.  Has anyone got good or bad things to say about these particular SOCKS5 implementations?   For 
authentication, I have either AD or LDAP so I'm not particular bound to a platform choice. 

 

If you do not want to go on record as saying YAY or NAY for a particular implementation, feel free to send me a message 
in private.

 

Thanks,

Chris
