Free SOCKS5 proxies?

[Good_Miner 0]

Is there a company/website offering free personal SOCKS5 proxies? Public lists of socks5 proxies could be either compromised, or very crowded.

No.
And yeah that's what happens when they offer stuff for free.

There is no good "free" supplier, why would a supplier lose money?

You wouldn't want to use a free proxy anyway

My god please don't use a free proxy...

Yes, I obviously agree with the answers of all the users. Now my next question would be...can I set up my OWN machine as a SOCKS5 proxy? Could you show a basic setup with SSH or Dante for Linux users? Could you summarize the potential risks of such setup, in terms of cyber security?
