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
