How to Install SocksBin on Manjaro

SocksBin is a lightweight, efficient, and fast SOCKS proxy server which can be used to bypass firewalls and access blocked websites. In this tutorial, we will be installing SocksBin on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

• A Manjaro Linux system with root access
• Git installed on your Manjaro system

Installation Steps

1. Open your terminal and run the following command to install Git on your system:

   sudo pacman -S git
   

2. Clone the SocksBin repository by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/magnumdingusedu/socksbin.git
   

3. Change the directory to the SocksBin folder by running the following command:

   cd socksbin
   

4. Run the following command to compile SocksBin on your system:

   make
   

5. After the compilation process is complete, install the SocksBin executable by running the following command:

   sudo make install
   

6. Verify the installation by running the following command:

   socksbin -v
   

   If the installation was successful, this command will print the SocksBin version number.

7. To start the SocksBin server, run the following command:

   socksbin -t tcp://0.0.0.0:1080
   

   This will start the SocksBin server on port 1080. If you want to use a different port, replace 1080 with your desired port number.

8. You can now use the SocksBin server as a SOCKS proxy by configuring your web browser or application to use the SOCKS proxy at localhost:1080 (or your chosen port number).

Congratulations! You have successfully installed SocksBin on Manjaro.
