GOST (GO Simple Tunnel) is a Go-based tunneling and proxy tool supporting HTTP/HTTPS/HTTP2/SOCKS4/SOCKS5/Shadowsocks protocols plus QUIC, KCP, SSH, and TLS transports. It supports multi-level proxy chains, TCP/UDP port forwarding, transparent proxying, load balancing, and TUN/TAP devices.

Use cases

  • set up a socks5 or http proxy server
  • tunnel traffic through multiple chained proxies
  • forward local tcp or udp ports to a remote host
  • bypass network censorship with encrypted tunnels
  • tunnel udp over tcp or quic
  • run a shadowsocks server
  • build a transparent proxy gateway on linux

When to choose

  • you need a single binary supporting many proxy and tunnel protocols
  • you want multi-hop proxy chains with mixed protocol types
  • you need port forwarding combined with proxying in one tool

When to avoid

  • you only need a simple http proxy and prefer minimal config
  • you need a GUI-managed proxy client
  • you want a widely audited tool for high-security threat models
