The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
3proxy is a tiny proxy server: one binary (3proxy, about 330 KB in the 1.0.0 package) that starts HTTP(S), SOCKS4/5, SNI, FTP, POP3/SMTP and TCP/UDP port-mapping services from a single config file. The config is a script executed top to bottom — each line is a command, and a service line (proxy, socks, tcppm) starts with whatever auth, ACL and limits are in force at that point. This skill covers installation, the packaged file layout, users, ACLs, parent proxies, traffic limits and hardening.
Debian and Ubuntu do not ship a 3proxy package. The project publishes its own signed apt and dnf repositories (channels: current = 1.0, lts = 0.9.9.x).
# Debian 12+ / Ubuntu 22.04+
curl -fsSLO https://3proxy.org/repo/3proxy-release-key.asc
# verify the signing key's fingerprint before trusting it; stop if this prints nothing
gpg --show-keys --with-colons 3proxy-release-key.asc \
| grep -q '^fpr:::::::::FC12214499FCC7BA1CFF6CDC0312384E3A73940B:' && echo "key fingerprint OK"
sudo install -m 644 3proxy-release-key.asc /usr/share/keyrings/3proxy.asc
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/3proxy.sources <<EOF
Types: deb
URIs: https://3proxy.org/repo/deb
Suites: current
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/3proxy.asc
EOF
sudo apt update && sudo apt install 3proxy
RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky and CentOS Stream 8–10 use the dnf repository described at https://3proxy.org/repo/. A container image is on Docker Hub as 3proxy/3proxy (tags latest, 1.0.0, lts, busybox, minimal):
docker run -d --name 3proxy --read-only -p 3128:3128 -p 1080:1080 \
-v /srv/3proxy/3proxy.cfg:/etc/3proxy/3proxy.cfg:ro 3proxy/3proxy:1.0.0
In the container, use a bare log line so records go to stdout (docker logs 3proxy).
