SOCKS5

SOCKS5 is the most widely understood proxy protocol; nearly every program speaks it. It is not encrypted and not meant for getting past censorship directly; in PSM it gives other programs on the server, or traffic relayed from another machine, a proxy entry point.

Transport	TCP
Cores	Xray, sing-box, mihomo
Default listener	loopback only (127.0.0.1)
Public listener	requires a username and password

From the menu

• Xray: main menu 4 → 4 (Nodes) → 7 (SOCKS5)
• sing-box: main menu 2 → 4 → 8
• mihomo: main menu 3 → 4 → 8

From the command line

For the server itself (the default):

psm node add xray socks --tag my-socks --port 1080

Open to the network, with authentication:

psm node add xray socks --tag my-socks --port 1080 \
  --listen-addr 0.0.0.0 --username USER --password PASSWORD

socks5 is an alias of socks; either works.

Export

psm node export xray socks my-socks
