A lightweight, high-performance tun2socks implementation that forwards TCP and UDP traffic from a TUN device through a SOCKS5 proxy. It is written in C, supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, and builds as a CLI binary or static/shared library for Linux, Android, FreeBSD, macOS, iOS, and Windows.

Use cases

  • route all device traffic through a socks5 proxy with tun2socks
  • redirect tcp and udp connections over a socks5 tunnel on android
  • build a vpn-like client that tunnels traffic via socks5 on ios
  • forward udp packets through a socks5 proxy with fullcone nat
  • set up a lightweight tun2socks gateway on linux or freebsd
  • embed a tun2socks library into a mobile app via static or shared library

When to avoid

  • you need encrypted tunnel protocols like wireguard or openvpn rather than socks5
  • you need a full-featured proxy client with rule-based routing and subscription support
  • you prefer a managed GUI application over a config-file-driven tool
