Question about Encryption ?

[hcr2020]

Hello Mr Nikita (@nskondratev ) I am very happy with your socks5-proxy-server , it works like a charm. I have 3 questions:

• Is the traffic encrypted ? and what encryption method it uses ? and can it be change like with a encryption chain?
• Can I use port TCP 443 as server port and encrypt it with a Let's encrypt certificate ?
• Is ssh port on the server used for it to work ?

Thank you very much !

Hello! Thank you for questions.

This app supports only SOCKS5 protocol out of the box, so no any encryption is added.

Can I use port TCP 443 as server port and encrypt it with a Let's encrypt certificate ?

I guess you can add some reverse proxy (e.g. Ngnix), setup Let's encrypt there, add upstream to socks5 proxy and expose only reverse proxy port. But this needs some experimentation, I actually don't know would it work or not.

Is ssh port on the server used for it to work ?

Can you please clarify your question? This app don't use SSH port at all, but you can use it for the deployment.
