A Go library that implements a SOCKS5 proxy server, supporting No-Auth and User/Password authentication and the CONNECT command. It offers granular command filtering rules and custom DNS resolution, and can be embedded into Go applications.
Use cases
- run a socks5 proxy server in go
- embed a socks5 proxy into my application
- proxy traffic through an intermediate server to bypass firewalls or NAT
- add username/password authentication to a socks5 proxy
- filter which commands clients can use through the proxy
- customize dns resolution for proxied connections
When to choose
- you need a programmable SOCKS5 server embedded in a Go application
- you need CONNECT support with No-Auth or User/Password auth
- you want granular rules to filter proxy commands or custom DNS resolution
When to avoid
- you need BIND or UDP ASSOCIATE commands, which are not implemented
- you want a standalone ready-to-run proxy binary rather than a library
- you need SOCKS4 support
