Hey there! Socks5 config can be tricky, but once you get it, it’s smooth sailing. For auth, I’d say username/password is more secure, but IP-based is fine for internal stuff.
As for tools, `ssh -D` is a lifesaver for testing. It sets up a quick socks5 proxy, and you can test it with your browser or curl.
If you want a sample config, here’s one I use:
```
socks5 = 192.168.1.1:1080
auth-method = password
username = test
password = test123
```
Good luck!
