I am wondering how to setup a socks5 server.
I don't even have the slightest idea of how to do it.
I am not talking about the SSH -D root@example.com shit...
I am talking about a socks5 server that will allow people to connect to the socks server through an ip and port number like 127.0.0.1:8080.
What software would be required? I am running CentOS and Red Hat on my servers.
I want to setup some socks5 servers to make money off of.

Thanks,
ieatlinux;)

It requires SSH login. They need to setup a tunnel using a port for example '4567' and set the port to dynamic. This can be done on putty under SSH settings. You also want to enable compression at level 2.

Then they can change there browser settings to 127.0.0.1:4567 and proxy through your server. You shouldn't need any new software at all :)
