From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a residential proxy located in the U.S. The problem is I can only use these on browsers supporting proxy.

What I want is to setup the proxy on my VPS and have my phone connect to it using wireguard.

Is this possible?

Iptables has support for forwarding network traffic via a proxy, the keyword is "tproxy".

I don't think you can use socks5 directly, but you can translate tproxy to socks5 by installing squid listening on localhost for tproxy connections and setting the socks5 as an upstream proxy.

If it reads like a bunch of obsolete tech, it's because it is, but it gets the job done.
