About:
Dante is a high-performance SOCKS server and client that enables proxied network connections for applications lacking native SOCKS support. It implements RFC 1928 and related standards, providing robust authentication and flexible routing capabilities. This tool is essential for securing and managing network traffic in complex enterprise environments.
Key Features:
  • SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocol support
  • Flexible access control and routing rules
  • Multiple authentication methods (PAM, LDAP, RADIUS)
  • High-performance connection handling
  • Comprehensive logging and monitoring
Use Cases:
  • Securing outbound network traffic in corporate environments
  • Enabling SOCKS support for non-compliant applications
  • Creating centralized network access gateways
Alternatives:
  • ssh – Built-in SOCKS proxy via dynamic port forwarding, simpler but less feature-rich
  • 3proxy – Multi-protocol proxy server with broader protocol support
