Redirecting All Container Traffic via SOCKS Proxy Using tun2socks

17.06.2025

Sometimes it becomes necessary to route all outgoing traffic from a specific container through a proxy server. This can be useful for ensuring anonymity, bypassing geo-restrictions, or for testing network configurations. In this article, we’ll look at how to set up such a system using the tun2socks utility and iptables rules, as well as how to manage this process with systemd.

What is tun2socks?

tun2socks is a powerful tool that allows you to redirect network traffic intended for a TUN device through a SOCKS proxy. It creates a virtual network interface (TUN device), and all traffic flowing through it is encapsulated into a SOCKS connection. This is especially convenient when direct application-level proxying is impossible or undesirable.

Publishing Your Website from a Home PC: Cloudflare Tunnel Without a White IP

16.06.2025

There’s often a need to host a website, be it a personal blog, a test project, or a small service, directly on a home computer. This is convenient, economical, and provides full control. However, many face the problem of not having a “white” (public) IP address from their internet provider, making direct external access virtually impossible. And even if they do, it’s often dynamic, requiring constant updates via DDNS.

Don’t worry! Today, we’ll dive into the world of network technologies and show you how to overcome this limitation and publish your website online using a powerful and free tool from Cloudflare – Cloudflare Tunnel (formerly known as Argo Tunnel). You won’t need a white IP, port forwarding on your router, or other complex configurations!

Deploying Windows Server in Yandex.Cloud

Today, we’ll dive into the world of cloud technologies and learn how to deploy the Windows Server operating system on the Yandex.Cloud platform. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to have their own server for various tasks, whether it’s for application testing, website deployment, or even Active Directory creation.

Important Note: Your Own Windows Server Image

Currently, Yandex.Cloud does not provide pre-built Windows Server images. This means we’ll need to prepare a Windows Server image locally, import it into Yandex.Cloud, and then create a virtual machine based on that image. This process requires a bit more effort but gives you full control over your system.
