Is there a robust socks5 proxy server for macOS? And no, I do not mean the -D 
option of ssh; although it works, it dies daily, more or less.

For FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris, it seems that ss5 is often mentioned, And if 
something that may not need much OS specific code builds on FreeBSD, I'd like 
to think it wouldn't be too hard to build on macOS; but I haven't tried yet, 
and haven't found an example of someone else trying.

Has anyone built ss5 for macOS? Or is there a port of some socks5 server that 
could run, preferably in background (LaunchDaemon or whatever) on macOS?

Sometimes, my main connectivity is cr@p, and my Macs  aren't close enough 
together to use the phone's WiFi (no stronger than it has to be) all as a 
hotspot; and macOS client side socks5 proxy support (to the laptop with the 
iPhone plugged into it) is decent enough to use the App Store and some other 
things to keep them somewhat up to date. So until the weather cools down some, 
this would be really helpful. :-)
