What is SOCKS5 Agent

SOCKS5是一种网络协议，它允许客户端通过代理服务器来与其他服务器进行通信。它支持认证和UDP协议，相较于SOCKS4协议，它提供了更强大的功能和更好的安全性。在实际应用中，SOCKS5代理通常用于代理、隐藏真实IP地址等目的。

Using the SOCKS5 Agent on Linux

After configuring the SOCKS5 proxy server, you can use the SOCKS5 proxy on Linux. This can be done either by setting an environment variable, or by configuring the proxy directly in the application.

1. Set up the global agent:
Set the environment variable `all_proxy` with the export command to forward all network requests through the SOCKS5 proxy server.

export all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

2. Set up agents for specific applications:
Some applications support direct proxy configuration, such as the curl command:

curl -socks5 127.0.0.1:1080 www.example.com

With these steps, you can use the SOCKS5 proxy for network requests on Linux.

Using SOCKS5 proxy can help users to hide their real IP address, bypass network restrictions, protect network privacy and so on. Through the above methods, installing and configuring SOCKS5 proxy on Linux and using the proxy in applications can effectively realize the function of network proxy. I hope the content presented in this article is helpful for you to better understand and use the SOCKS5 proxy.
