Socks5 proxy server setup｜AWS Free EC2 Tutorials

Hands-on with free servers to build your own Socks5 proxy

I let him try AWS free EC2 self-built proxy, now the account survival time from 3 days to 2 months. Today thisZero cost programTeach it to everyone and follow along for 30 minutes.

Preparation: woolgathering for Amazon

1. Sign up for an AWS account (VISA credit card required, $1 will be deducted for verification and returned)
2. Select from the consoleOhioRegion (up to free amount)
3. Recognize when creating EC2 instancest2.microModel (with free label)
4. Download and save the key file (.pem format, if you lose it, you won't be able to access the server)

Here's a tip: fill in the address in English when you register, and pay attention to the airplane sound in the background when you answer the phone verification code, it's a real phone call from the United States.

Three lines of code to build a proxy service

Paste these commands directly after connecting to the server with MobaXterm:

 # Install the necessary components sudo yum install -y wget # Download the one-click install script wget https://raw.github.com/Lozy/danted/master/install.sh # Execute the installation (replace 12345 with your password) bash install.sh --port=1080 --user=proxy --passwd=12345

Self-Built Proxy vs ipipgo Service Comparison

For example, to do social platform multi-account operation, self-built agents may not be able to hold up to 10 numbers online at the same time, and with ipipgo'sDynamic Residential IPAbility to raise 200+ accounts at the same time.

A Guide to Avoiding the Pit (Blood and Tears)

- traffic trap: AWS free packages only have 15G of traffic per month, and you have to deduct dollars if you go over it
- time trap: Remember to turn off the servers for 1 day in a 31 day month!
- a booby-trap: Be sure to open port 1080 in the security group, or you won't be able to connect!

Some dude forgot to turn off his server last year on double 11 and ended up with a $200 bill. If you're afraid of the hassle, it's more hassle-free to just use the ipipgo service, theirTraffic Alert FunctionCan automatically shut down to prevent overruns.
