pproxy is a lightweight asynchronous tunnel proxy implemented in pure Python 3 asyncio, supporting HTTP, HTTP2, HTTP3/QUIC, SOCKS4/5, Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, SSH, and NAT redirect protocols for both TCP and UDP. It can run as a proxy client or server with features like load balancing, traffic filtering, authentication, and system-wide proxy auto-configuration.

Use cases

• run a local socks5 or http proxy server
• tunnel traffic through a shadowsocks server
• set up a system-wide proxy on macos or windows
• chain proxies with tunnel and jump support
• redirect iptables or pf NAT traffic through a proxy
• load balance traffic across multiple remote proxy servers
• block or filter hostnames by regex patterns
• proxy UDP traffic over quic or http3

When to choose

• you need a single lightweight tool supporting many proxy protocols
• you want a pure-python proxy with no heavy dependencies
• you need both TCP and UDP tunneling with shadowsocks or ssh
• you want quick CLI-based proxy setup with system proxy integration

When to avoid

• you need maximum throughput in a high-traffic production environment
• you need a GUI-managed proxy client
• you require protocol features outside its supported list, such as WireGuard or VPN-level tunneling
