🛡️ MaskNet v1.1 – SSH SOCKS5 Browser

📦 Second official release!

MaskNet is a lightweight PyQt5-based web browser that routes all traffic through an SSH-powered SOCKS5 proxy tunnel. Ideal for secure, masked browsing with minimal setup.


🛠️ Improvements in v1.1

  • First Stable Release: The core features (SSH SOCKS5 tunneling, browsing, status checks) are now stable and working as expected.

  • User Interface Enhancements: The PyQt5-based interface has been improved to be more intuitive, clean, beautiful, and easy to use, with real-time feedback about the SSH tunnel and internet connection.


🚀 Features

  • Modern PyQt5 user interface
  • Web browsing through a local SOCKS5 proxy
  • Automatic SSH tunnel creation using sshpass
  • Periodic connection status checks
  • Available as a portable bin or installable .deb package

🔧 Requirements

For the .deb version, you’ll need:

  • Python 3
  • sshpass
  • python3-pyqt5
  • python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine

Install them on Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt install sshpass python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebengine

🖥️ How to Use

  1. Enter your SSH target (e.g., user@myserver.com)
  2. Enter your SSH password
  3. Start browsing — all traffic will be routed via the secure SSH SOCKS5 tunnel
