About:
Glider is a forward proxy server that supports multiple protocols including SOCKS5, HTTP, and Shadowsocks. It allows users to route network traffic through various proxy chains with load balancing and health checking capabilities. The tool is designed for building flexible network infrastructure and bypassing network restrictions.
|
Key Features:
- Multi-protocol support (SOCKS5, HTTP, Shadowsocks, Trojan, etc.)
- Load balancing and failover across multiple upstream proxies
- Flexible routing rules based on domain, IP, or geolocation
- Built-in health checking for proxy nodes
- Support for forwarding via SSH tunnel
|
Use Cases:
- Building resilient proxy infrastructure for network access
- Load balancing traffic across multiple proxy servers
- Creating custom VPN/gateway solutions with protocol flexibility
- Bypassing network restrictions in restricted environments
|
Alternatives:
-
v2ray
– More complex with additional features, while glider is lightweight and focused on proxy forwarding
-
shadowsocks-libev
– Single-protocol focused, whereas glider supports multiple proxy protocols simultaneously
-
tinyproxy
– HTTP-only proxy, while glider supports multiple protocols and advanced routing
