tun2proxy is a Rust tool that creates a TUN network interface and routes traffic through SOCKS4/5 or HTTP proxies, effectively turning a proxy into a system-wide VPN-like tunnel. It supports IPv4/IPv6, DNS over TCP, UDP-over-TCP gateways, and per-app routing on Android via session info embedding.

Use cases

route all system traffic through a socks5 proxy
use an http proxy as a vpn on linux
tunnel traffic through socks5 on android with per-app routing
send udp traffic over a tcp socks proxy
proxy dns queries over tcp through a tunnel
bypass network restrictions using a proxy tunnel

When to choose

you need system-wide proxy tunneling without root-level VPN servers
you only have a SOCKS or HTTP proxy but want all apps' traffic routed through it
you need UDP over TCP or DNS-over-TCP through a proxy
you want per-app routing on Android 10+

When to avoid

you need a full VPN with encryption beyond what the proxy provides
you need a graphical VPN client rather than a command-line tool
your proxy does not support the auth methods or UDP features you require
