Hello Friends I just install Dante Socks 1.4.02 version of Dante on Virtual Machine of my Pc with Virtual Box and Red Hat 8.3 , I finally finally I got the service to work but how can I do a test with user and password to port 1080 that I already configure in the sockd.conf file

Regards

This guide is great but the service doesn’t start on boot even though it shows as enabled in systemctl, also creating a time delayed @reboot sleep 30 && service danted restart also does nothing. Nobody at my work can figure out how to get it to start on boot either, only seems to work with a manual sudo service danted start. Any help would be appreciated as a whole room of people are stumped.

You’re The Man, it worked! With the old version, I was getting a login error.

Hi there, I followed your instructions on this article. But when I want to start the service I get the following error:
error: /etc/danted.conf: problem on line 22 near token “0.0.0.0”: syntax error.

here’s my configuration:
# /etc/danted.conf

logoutput: syslog
user.privileged: root
user.unprivileged: nobody

# The listening network interface or address.
internal: 0.0.0.0 port=20128

# The proxying network interface or address.
external: ens18

# socks-rules determine what is proxied through the external interface.
# The default of “none” permits anonymous access.
socksmethod: username

# client-rules determine who can connect to the internal interface.
# The default of “none” permits anonymous access.
clientmethod: none

client pass {
from 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
log: error
}

socks pass {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
log: connect disconnect error
}

The Operating System is Ubuntu 16.04

Thank you! Everything went fine. Although I’m not sure what would happen after system restart.

Is there any way to limit connections for user? Going to create logins for friends and limit with 2-3 connections simultaneously to prevent sharing logins with everybody.
