A high-performance multi-protocol proxy server written in Rust supporting HTTP, SOCKS5, VMess, VLESS, Shadowsocks, Trojan, Snell, Hysteria2, TUIC, and more. It offers TUN/VPN mode, TLS SNI routing, proxy chaining, rule-based routing, and hot config reloading.
Use cases
- run a self-hosted multi-protocol proxy server
- set up a shadowsocks or vmess server
- proxy traffic over hysteria2 or tuic with quic
- chain multiple upstream proxies with load balancing
- route traffic by hostname or CIDR rules
- run a transparent VPN proxy with TUN mode
- bypass censorship with xtls reality or shadowtls
When to choose
- you need a single binary supporting many proxy protocols
- you want high performance with a Rust async runtime
- you need hot-reloading YAML configuration and rule-based routing
- you want TUN-based transparent proxying on Linux, Android, or iOS
When to avoid
- you need a GUI-managed proxy client
- you only need a simple HTTP forward proxy with no advanced protocols
- you require Windows TUN/VPN mode support
