s5p -C socks5://127.0.0.1:9050             # through Tor
s5p -C socks5://tor:9050,http://px:8080    # Tor + HTTP proxy
s5p -c config/s5p.yaml                      # from config file
s5p -l 0.0.0.0:9999                         # custom listen address

      proto: socks5
      limit: 1000
    - file: /etc/s5p/proxies.txt
  refresh: 300       # re-fetch interval
  test_interval: 120 # health test cycle
  max_fails: 3       # evict after N fails

Proxy File Format

# one proxy URL per line
socks5://1.2.3.4:1080
socks5://user:pass@5.6.7.8:1080
http://proxy.example.com:8080

Proxy URLs

Testing

# Check exit IP
curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 https://httpbin.org/ip

# Tor check
curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 https://check.torproject.org/api/ip

# Verbose curl
curl -v -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 https://example.com

# With timeout
curl --max-time 30 -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 https://example.com

Profiling

python -m pstats s5p.prof                   # interactive stats viewer

Metrics Log

metrics: conn=142 ok=98 fail=44 retries=88 active=3 in=1.2M out=4.5M up=0h05m12s pool=42/65

Troubleshooting

Symptom Check
Connection refused Is Tor running? ss -tlnp | grep 9050
Timeout Increase -t, check proxy reachability
DNS leak Use socks5h:// (not socks5://) in client
Auth failed Verify credentials in proxy URL
Port in use fuser -k 1080/tcp to free the port
Container slow stop Rebuild image after SIGTERM fix
Proxy keeps failing Backoff penalizes for 60s; check pool= in metrics
"static chain unreachable" Tor/upstream hop is down; pool tests skipped
Slow startup Normal on cold start; warm restarts use state file
