#### Headless CLI / daemon for the socks5vpn P2P SOCKS5 proxy

Command-line and daemon flavour of the socks5vpn peer-to-peer
SOCKS5 proxy network. Acts as a SOCKS5 client that tunnels
traffic through reachable peers, or — when explicitly enabled —
as a SOCKS5 exit peer for others.

The bundled background service is disabled by default and only
starts after the operator opts in, so the host never relays
traffic for other peers without consent.

The companion graphical desktop client is published under the
name `socks5vpnui` (same Snap Store publisher) — install that
one if you prefer a GUI.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install socks5vpn Daemon

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
