sing-box is a universal proxy platform that supports a wide range of proxy protocols and can run as a service or CLI tool. It is written in Go and available for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Docker.

Use cases

  • Set up a universal proxy to bypass censorship on Android and iOS devices.
  • Run a high‑performance VPN/TUN service on a Linux server.
  • Deploy a multi‑protocol proxy container in Docker for home network routing.
  • Provide per‑app proxy rules for desktop applications on Windows or macOS.
  • Create a custom proxy configuration for testing network protocols.

When to choose

  • You need a single solution that supports many proxy protocols (V2Ray, WireGuard, Hysteria, etc.).
  • You require cross‑platform support, including mobile, desktop and container environments.
  • You want an actively maintained, open‑source project with frequent releases.

When to avoid

  • You need a full GUI client with advanced visual configuration tools.
  • Your environment relies on kernel‑level VPN implementations not supported by sing‑box.
  • You prefer a lightweight binary without any optional build tags or extra dependencies.
