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
