This is a fork of the unmaintained https://github.com/armon/go-socks5 repository.

It adds support for:

• go modules
• socks4
• socks4a

The work was mainly done to support socks proxies in my own project https://github.com/ferama/rospo

Blame on you Microsoft for not supporting socks5! or I missed something here?

Provides the socks package that implements a SOCKS server. SOCKS (Secure Sockets) is used to route traffic between a client and server through an intermediate proxy layer. This can be used to bypass firewalls or NATs.

The package has the following features:

• "No Auth" mode
• User/Password authentication
• Support for the CONNECT command
• Rules to do granular filtering of commands
• Custom DNS resolution
• Unit tests

The package still needs the following:

• Support for the BIND command

Below is a simple example of usage

// Create a SOCKS server
conf := &socks.Config{}
server, err := socks.New(conf)
if err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

// Create SOCKS proxy on localhost port 1080
if err := server.ListenAndServe("tcp", "127.0.0.1:1080"); err != nil {
  panic(err)
}
