A lightweight socks5 or Web proxy

[msprout]

Hi all. Longtime fan and customer of Cloudron. It's basically one of four services I actually recommend to people.

Anywho, Cloudron has helped me successfully offboard from most of the non-FOSS software I became reliant on. However, the one thing I think I'm still missing is a light, simple socks5 proxy (or a web proxy tool, if you're like me and old enough to remember the era those were used — they are just very user-friendly).

I can use the VPN deployment (which works great), but most of the people in my life just need a means of using certain blocked apps at work. They're never gonna have the opportunity to install a cert or VPN software on their work machines, so, this is basically the only lever available in that case.

I saw Proxmox Helper Scripts is offering HevSocks5Server, for reference.

Thanks all.

I packaged 3proxy a long time ago. It was working fine, but I eventually didn't need it anymore, so it has been unmaintained. It might need some love since many things changed in Cloudron (probably a better way to do healthchecks), but it will likely be easy to update to the latest version and make it work. It could do both, http and socks5: https://git.cloudron.io/msbt/3proxy-app
