3proxy is universal proxy server. It can be used to provide internal users with fully controllable access to external resources or to provide external users with access to internal resources. 3proxy is not developed to replace squid, but it can extend functionality of existing cashing proxy. It can be used to route requests between different types of clients and proxy servers. Think about it as application level gateway with configuration like hardware router has for network layer. It can establish multiple gateways with HTTP and HTTPS proxy with FTP over HTTP support, SOCKS v4, v4.5 and v5, POP3 proxy, UDP and TCP portmappers.
Sample configuration
Just add the following to your NixOS configuration:
configuration.nix
{
services._3proxy = {
enable = true;
services = [
{
type = "socks";
auth = [ "strong" ];
acl = [ {
rule = "allow";
users = [ "test1" ];
}
];
}
];
usersFile = "/etc/3proxy.passwd";
};
environment.etc = {
"3proxy.passwd".text = ''
test1:CL:password1
test2:CR:$1$rkpibm5J$Aq1.9VtYAn0JrqZ8M.1ME.
'';
};
}
 |
Tip
In order to affect your NixOS system by your nix-language-specific changes you must first evaluate it:
$ nixos-rebuild switch --use-remote-sudo |
This sample configuration runs a single instance as socks proxy with user/password auth. The password can be clear text, as indicated by the CL for user test1 or it can be encrypted as indicated by the CR for user test2. You can generate md5-crypted passwords via https://unix4lyfe.org/crypt/
Note: The htpasswd tool generates incompatible md5-crypted passwords (see https://github.com/z3APA3A/3proxy/wiki/How-To-(incomplete)#USERS )
Firewall
If not set otherwise, open port 3128 on the firewall.
Firefox
To use in Firefox, you can install the FoxyProxy addon and create a new proxy. Give it a name, use SOCKS5 and provide the proxy's IP address or domain name. If not set otherwise, use port 3128 and provider username and password.
