Firefly is a cross-platform proxy client written in Go designed to circumvent the Great Firewall of China, with builds for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It bundles a proxy/VPN client experience inspired by projects like Lantern and tun2socks.
Use cases
- bypass the great firewall
- access blocked websites from china
- proxy client for android and ios
- circumvent internet censorship
- self-hosted proxy to get past the gfw
When to choose
- you need a lightweight censorship-circumvention proxy on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS
- you want an open-source alternative to Lantern-style tools
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the last release was in 2018
- you need a general-purpose VPN rather than a censorship-circumvention proxy
- you require modern protocol support or recent security patches
