## What it is
A lightweight SOCKS5 proxy server written in Go, packaged as a Docker container, built on go-socks5. It supports username/password authentication, IP allowlists, and destination FQDN filtering via environment variables.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted socks5 proxy in docker
- proxy with username and password authentication
- restrict proxy access to allowed client IPs
- filter which destination domains the proxy can reach
- route curl or scraping traffic through a socks5 proxy

## When to choose
- you need a minimal, containerized SOCKS5 proxy with auth and access control
- you want simple env-var configuration and a small Docker image

## When to avoid
- you need SOCKS4, HTTP proxying, or advanced features like chaining or rotation
- you need a full proxy management platform with dashboards and metrics

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: stable
- function: proxy, networking, security
- domain: networking, privacy, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, go
- tags: socks5, proxy-server, docker-image, authentication, ip-whitelist, docker, linux
