Command line setup of socks5 proxy (socks proxy port)

Alas, that said, I suddenly wanted to set up socks5 proxy on my computer one day, but the result of half a day or can't get it right, what can I do? Well in the end in the Internet to find a solution, and now I share it with you.

Setting up a socks5 proxy from the command line

First of all, we need to use some commands in the command line to set up the socks5 proxy so that we can access the website being on our computer without any obstacles. First of all, open the command line tool and then type the following command:
“`
export all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
“`
This directive means that all network requests are forwarded through the local socks5 proxy on port 1080, which enables proxy access.

Then, we also need to set up some specific programs individually, such as curl command line tool, we can use the following command to set up socks5 proxy:
“`
export ftp_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
export http_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
export https_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
“`
In this way, we can use curl to access the socks5 proxy. Of course, if you are using another program, you can set up the proxy in a similar way.

socks proxy port

When it comes to setting up a socks proxy port, you actually have to specify a port number to be used as the proxy forwarding channel. This port number is usually provided by the proxy server, and we just need to fill it in when we set up the proxy.

Note, however, that in general, the port number for socks proxy is 1080, but sometimes it varies due to special configurations, so it's a good idea to check what the exact port number is when setting up the proxy.

In short, setting up a socks5 proxy from the command line can be taken care of using just a few simple commands. But be careful, the proxy should be closed in time after setting it up so as not to affect other network requests. I hope everyone can set up the socks5 proxy smoothly and swim in the world of the Internet without any obstacles.
