goflyway is a Go-based encrypted port forwarder that relays TCP connections over plain HTTP POST requests, similar to ssh -L, with optional WebSocket and KCP transport modes. It also supports dynamic SOCKS-style forwarding and can serve as an HTTP reverse proxy or static file server on the same port.

Use cases

• forward a local port to a remote server through an HTTP proxy
• tunnel TCP traffic through a CONNECT-less HTTP proxy
• relay connections over WebSocket or KCP for better performance
• set up a dynamic SOCKS proxy through a remote server
• run a reverse proxy or static file server alongside a tunnel
• circumvent restrictive network environments using plain HTTP traffic

When to choose

• you are behind a CONNECT-less HTTP proxy and need to tunnel out
• you want ssh -L style forwarding without SSH access
• you need traffic that looks like ordinary HTTP POST requests
• you want a single lightweight Go binary for tunneling

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured VPN or mesh networking solution
• you require actively maintained software with recent updates
• you need high throughput in HTTP mode, which buffers and adds overhead
• you need production-grade authentication and auditing features
