Implementation of socks 5 version on node js
Does't support ipv6 address and udp/bind methods
npm install socks-proxy-v5
const { createServer } = require("socks-proxy-v5");
const server = createServer();
server.listen(1080); // any port
const { createServer } = require("socks-proxy-v5");
const server = createServer({
authenticate(login, password) {
// verify name/password
if (login !== "foo" || password !== "bar") {
console.log("authentication failed", login);
return false;
// authentication failed
}
console.log(`user ${login} connect`);
// return successful authentication
return true;
}
});
server.listen(1080);
const { createServer } = require("socks-proxy-v5");
const setAddr = new Set(["tools.ietf.org", "github.com", "2ip.ru"]);
const server = createServer({
filter(addr) {
const result = !setAddr.has(addr);
if(!result) console.log(`host ${addr} unreachable`);
return result;
}
});
options
- is an object that describes how to use a proxy server. (optional
)
timeout - type number
. Sets the socket to timeout after timeout milliseconds of inactivity on the socket. Default set 2 minute. If timeout is 0, then the existing idle timeout is disabled
const { createServer } = require("socks-proxy-v5");
const server = createServer({
timeout: 10000 // 10 second
});
After timeout the socket will be destroyed
authenticate(login, password) - type function
. Have two argument type string
.Returns true
if the user is authenticated, else false
You can make queries to the database, create arrays of data, log users, you are limited only by your imagination
filter(address) - type function
. Have one argument, type string
. Returns true
if the user has been filtered, else false
You can use regular expressions, iterating over an array, or using new data types as an example (new Set), queries to the data base
optional
)connect
Emitted when a socket connection is successfully established
server.on("connect", info =>
console.log(`connected to remote server at ${info.addr}:${info.port}`)
);
connection
Emitted when a new connection is made. socket is an instance of net.Socket
server.on("connection", socket => {
console.log("new socks connection", socket.remoteAddress, socket.remotePort);
});
error
Emitted when an error occurs.
server.on("error", error => {
console.error(error);
});
data
Emitted when data is received. The argument data will be a Buffer or String
server.on("data", data => console.log(data));
listening
Emitted when the server has been bound after calling server.listen()
server.listen(1080);
server.on("listening", () => {
console.log(
`server listening ${server.address().address}:${server.address().port}`

work like server.listen()
