The steps to set up a Socks5 proxy server on Ubuntu are as follows:

1. Update the system: In the terminal, execute the following command.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

1. Install Dante Server: Dante is a popular Socks5 proxy server. Use the following command to install Dante:

Add the following content to the end of the file:

internal: eth0 port = 1080

user.privileged: root
user.unprivileged: nobody
client pass {
    from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
    log: error connect disconnect
}
socks pass {
