Debian SOCKS4 server install

To install a SOCKS4 server on Debian you may apt-get the SOCKS4 server package (apt-get install socks4-server):

socks4-server – SOCKS4 server for proxying IP-based services over a firewall

After the installation you need to edit your inetd configration by typing:

update-inetd –add "socks stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/sockd"

It will edit the /etc/inetd.conf configuration and reload the daemon.

Now just edit the /etc/sockd.conf access list file for authorized connections, example:

permit 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.255

deny  ALL  0.0.0.0  .my.domain  0.0.0.0
