npm install socks-admin@1.2.11

Version 1.2.11 is not the newest on the block, but it remains popular for several reasons. Here are its standout features:

The biggest quality-of-life improvement in this release is graceful connection draining. In previous versions, restarting the admin service would kill active tunnels instantly. Now, v.1.2.11 introduces a 30-second cool-down period that allows active SOCKS5 handshakes to complete before the worker thread terminates. For high-volume proxies, this means fewer ECONNRESET errors during your weekly maintenance window.

v.1.2.11 improved logging with timestamps, connection IDs, and the ability to forward logs to a remote syslog server—an essential feature for compliance monitoring.
