Localhost forward for external SOCKS5 proxy with authentication
I want to connect SOCKS5 proxy with authentication, to a Chromium based browsers
since Chromium dos not support authentication for SOCKS5 proxy,
I need to set up another Localhost proxy (works like tunnel) to get me access to that SOCKS5 proxy
I tried PowerTunnel but I got multiple issues with it, so I need a simpler solution.

what OS are you using?
i have fallen in love with
https://github.com/ginuerzh/gost
works and can chain.
now you can enjoy this and kiss my hand later.
I‘m on windows and using proxifier.
Unfortunately it costs some bucks.

But it works quite nice for my usecase.
You could always use FoxyProxy for Chrome, which has Socks5 Authentication Support.

Nope...
"Doesn't connect to password-protected SOCKS5 proxies, despite having the options to do so.
Actually, does connect to the very same proxies when on Firefox!"
How about privoxy ? Run on windows and linux also.
You can tunnel any generic TCP traffic (including SOCKS) through SSH (e.g. using putty plink) or TLS (e.g. stunnel), both supporting secure public key authentication.
V2fly (V2ray) would work in your case.
I'm using Linux on my laptop, and had multiple VPS server I can create tunnel connection from
The issue I have I'm using paid SOCKS5 proxy with authentication, it works better than my VPS IPs... so I don't need to create tunnel from my VPS network (to use it IP)
I need to create a tunnel from that paid SOCKS5 proxy either on my laptop/localhost , or from my VPS (which runs 3proxy with no authentication) so I can run it on my browser
In the past I created Tunnel Broker on my OpenVZ VPS server (Its enables IPv6 Tunnel )
Could I create similar tb0 (network) that connected to that SOCKS5 proxy , I don't exactly how Tunnel works, but that method with 3proxy I was able to create multiple (Ipv6) proxy from my VPS
ip -6 addr add 2001:470::/128 dev tb0Are you able to run 3proxy as a local proxy on your laptop with the SOCKS5 as upstream parent?
Then it could be simply running Chromium with command-line flags
--proxy-server="socks5://localhost:11080"gost looks amazing! It seems like
gost -L socks5://:11080 -F socks5://username:password@upstreamaddr:upstreamportcould work as a lightweight alternative to running a full-fledged local proxy?
Alright I didn't know much about 3proxy SOCKS5 as upstream parent I just look into it now I'll test it and and see if it works on my laptop.
Thanks a lot, that single line just works.
BTW If anyone look into this you should run localhost proxy as SOCKS5, as @joshnsg said .
curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:11080 https://lumtest.com/myip.jsonSame with the Chrome browser either from command line or Use proxy extension like I do
Just discovered an alternative to gost, also based on Go (so possibly available for Windows too)
https://github.com/nadoo/glider
and running it (presumably) as
glider -l :11080 -f socks5://username:password@upstreamaddr:upstreamportcan you please why you say alternative?
In OP's context of using gost as a local forwarder -- glider can serve the same function. It also supports the proxy chaining you mention, as well as proxy rotation etc.
