Any way to build a socks5 proxy server on this?

[WeishiCheungPDR]

Hello, thanks so much for making this thing, I installed it successfully in my VPS!

sorry in advance for asking this stupid question, im still new to this thing

but is there a way i can build a socks5 server inside this docker or any other ways?

I want one of my PC to connect to expressvpn from a socks5 proxy

for some reason i cannot just install expressvpn on my machine, and when I install expressvpn in my vps, i lost it forever, cannot ssh to it anymore.

So i think may be this expressvpn running in docker can help me in this case.

any ideas?

i found the way

when create docker, you need to transfer both 80 and 1080(you can change this to whatever port you gonna use for socks server) run docker docker exec -it dockerID /bin/bash sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential git git clone https://github.com/rofl0r/microsocks.git cd microsocks make nohup ./microsocks -i 0.0.0.0 -p 1080 & Done.

Hi, Im sorry for late answer! Im glad you found the solution. If you wish this to become part of the code, feel free to create a PR. I think it could potentially function as optional env. In Dockerfile we could add build-essential and git and clone the repo then remove git which will not be needed. And in the start.sh add procedure to make socks if env is set. Just an idea.
