3proxy is a tiny, free proxy server written in C supporting SOCKS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and TLS proxying with traffic shaping, port mapping, and accounting. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Unix, with signed package repositories and Docker images available.
Use cases
- set up a socks5 proxy server
- run a lightweight http proxy on linux
- proxy server with traffic shaping and bandwidth limits
- self-hosted https/tls proxy
- ipv6-capable proxy server
- port mapping and forwarding proxy
- small footprint proxy in docker
When to choose
- you need a tiny, resource-efficient multi-protocol proxy server
- you want SOCKS5, HTTP, and HTTPS proxying in one tool
- you need traffic shaping, accounting, or IPv6 support
- you want a self-hosted proxy with Docker images or signed packages
When to avoid
- you need a caching forward proxy like Squid with content filtering
- you need a full-featured load balancer or API gateway
- you prefer a GUI-managed proxy solution
- antivirus false positives on the binary are unacceptable in your environment
