socks soft route ip: soft route SOCKS5 proxy configuration method

Can't figure out soft routing and SOCKS5?

Many partners may have heard of soft routing, but what exactly is going on is probably a bit confusing. Simply put, soft routing is to use ordinary computer equipment (such as old laptops, development boards) to install a routing system, to realize the functions of a professional router. Compared to hard routing, itHigher degree of customization, especially suitable for scenarios where network configuration needs to be tossed around.

And the SOCKS5 agent belongs to theall-rounderThe biggest difference between SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy is that it can support more protocols. For example, game clients, download tools that do not recognize the HTTP proxy software, with SOCKS5 can be easily dealt with. Now on the market many proxy service providers (such as our ipipgo) support this protocol.

Hands-on with the soft router to set up the net SOCKS5

Here to OpenWrt system as an example (other systems operate similarly), pay attention to first prepare theAvailable SOCKS5 proxy addresses. Log in to the admin backend and find the "Network" - "Interfaces" menu. follow this process:

1. create a new interface with a name (e.g. MyProxy)
2. Select "SOCKS5 Proxy" for the protocol.
3. fill in the proxy IP for the server (e.g. 108.168.1.100)
4. the corresponding five-digit number of the port
5. authentication information fill in the account password (if any)

Here comes the point! In the"Advanced Settings"Remember to check "Bypass China IP" in "Traffic Rules", so that you will not use proxy to access domestic websites. After saving the application, specify the devices that need to use proxy in "Traffic Rules", such as your game console or office computer.

Don't panic when you run into these potholes.

A: No problem at all! Just change the proxy to manual in the WiFi settings and fill in the IP address and port of the soft router.

Q: Do I need to buy specialized equipment?
A: the old computer brush a OpenWrt can be used, Raspberry Pi these development boards more power saving. ipipgo have ready-made cloud server program, do not want to toss can be directly rented.

Q: How to manage using multiple agents at the same time?
A: In the soft route to build multiple interfaces, with policy routing function shunt. ipipgo support API batch IP extraction, with the script automatic switching.

Finally, a cold knowledge: after the setup remember to open the ipipgo backgroundIP whitelistingOtherwise it may be misjudged by the system. Encountered other odd problems directly to their technical guy, the response speed is much faster than some big manufacturers, pro-test effective!
