This Ansible playbook initializes a SOCKS5 server on any Ubuntu 16.04 machine. For anonymous server, run:
ansible-playbook -i '12.34.56.78,' playbook.yml
Note that the IP address should have a trailing comma. When you want to specify user name and password, add relevant tags:
ansible-playbook -i '12.34.56.78,' playbook.yml -e user=thatsme password=q1w2e3r4
Finally, you can change port from the default 1080 by using tport variable:
ansible-playbook -i '12.34.56.78,' playbook.yml -e tport=1089
Run this command to test a server without auth:
curl -v -x socks5://12.34.56.78:1080 http://t.me
And with auth:
curl -v -x socks5://thatsme:q1w2e3r4@12.34.56.78:1080 http://t.me
Try querying google.com to see that only telegram endpoints are allowed.
