Maybe WireGuard. They have SOCKS5 proxies... but I don't know if they will be suitable for what you want to do.

Looking into it, WireGuard fits the bill with socks/5 integration. The other features are interesting, although I wasn't looking to offer VPN services. This does tempt me with ideas for a future project though. Maybe, I can put one of my idling cloud hosts to better use? Something to look into.

The current setup is a Debian Squid3 proxy/various other services/firewall/gateway. The immediate problem is certain peers bitching at me about being forced to use browser based webmail, instead of Outlook/Thunderbird. I can allow them to punch through the firewall, but this is an opportunity to dive into the world of socks proxying. Aside from Imap access, pairing them with a socks proxy will give me a more consistent and controllable setup for what I see coming down the road.

Another aside, Squid apparently does socks on an experimental basis with recompiling. Not interested.

In case anyone was interested, Dante was the winner. It required no additional dependencies beyond what was already installed.

As far as I'm concerned this may as well now be a proxy general thread. Off topic commentary welcome.
