Hysteria is an open‑source proxy solution built on a custom QUIC implementation. It provides SOCKS5, HTTP, TCP/UDP forwarding and TUN/TProxy modes with strong censorship‑resistance.
Use cases
- Set up a fast, low‑latency proxy for browsing behind restrictive firewalls
- Create a SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy for applications on a home network without port forwarding
- Tunnel UDP traffic over unreliable networks using QUIC for better performance
- Deploy a peer‑to‑peer proxy (Realms) to bypass NAT and CGNAT restrictions
- Provide secure, encrypted proxy access for remote workers in censored regions
When to choose
- You need high‑speed proxy performance on lossy networks
- You must evade deep‑packet inspection and HTTP/3‑based censorship
- You want a single binary that runs on many platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, etc.)
- You require NAT traversal without exposing a public IP or configuring port forwarding
When to avoid
- You need a full VPN solution with built‑in routing and firewall integration
- Your environment only supports TCP‑only proxies and cannot use UDP/QUIC
- You require a managed cloud service rather than self‑hosting the proxy
