I've been trying to do a 3proxy configuration, but I've given up, since it's quite complicated to do it properly. Can anyone write a script for a Deb 6 compile and configure for 3proxy? Or any other reliable SOCKS 5 proxy what supports UDP reliably? It would be nice to have such a script.
My problems are the following:
1. No package for any distro.
2. Documentation doesn't really exist in English. There is a howto page here: http://www.3proxy.ru/howtoe.asp and a security page here: http://www.3proxy.ru/securityen.asp
3. You have to write the init.rc script yourself, the make doesn't do anything. Actually make install copies the files to /usr, but it's not even listed on the website.
4. The sample config is from 2006, the stable version is from 2009, but there is a dev version what is updated recently.
What I'm looking for is just a basic config with the following mods:
- non-default port
- IP restrictions for clients
- basic authentication for user:pass
