## What it is
A shell script that automates installing and configuring the Dante SOCKS5 proxy server on Linux systems, with Docker support. It auto-detects the OS, compiles Dante from source, generates config files, and manages users and multi-IP rotation.

## Use cases
- set up a socks5 proxy server on a VPS
- install dante socks5 with one command
- run a socks5 proxy in docker
- rotate external IP addresses through a multi-IP socks5 proxy
- add username/password authentication to a socks5 proxy
- configure a whitelist for socks5 proxy access

## When to choose
- you need a quick, automated SOCKS5 proxy setup on Debian/CentOS Linux
- you want multi-IP rotation where the exit IP matches the connecting IP
- you prefer Docker deployment of a SOCKS5 proxy with PAM auth

## When to avoid
- you need an HTTP proxy rather than SOCKS5
- you want a GUI-managed proxy solution
- you need a proxy server on non-Linux platforms
