  # UDP listen address (ipv4|ipv6)
# udp-listen-address: '::1'
  # Listen ipv6 only
  listen-ipv6-only: false
  # Bind source address (ipv4|ipv6)
  # It is overridden by bind-address-v{4,6} if specified
  bind-address: ''
  # Bind source address (ipv4)
  bind-address-v4: ''
  # Bind source address (ipv6)

Authentication file

<USERNAME> <SPACE> <PASSWORD> <SPACE> <MARK> <LF>

• USERNAME: A string of up to 255 characters
• PASSWORD: A string of up to 255 characters
• MARK: Hexadecimal

Run

bin/hev-socks5-server conf/main.yml

Live updating authentication file

Send signal SIGUSR1 to socks5 server process after the authentication file is updated.

killall -SIGUSR1 hev-socks5-server

Limit number of connections

For example, limit the number of connections for jerry up to 2:

Config

auth:
  file: conf/auth.txt

Auth file

jerry pass 1a

IPtables

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --syn -m mark --mark 0x1a -m connlimit --connlimit-above 2 -j REJECT
