About:
Goproxy is a high-performance global proxy for Go modules, designed to accelerate module downloads by caching and proxying requests to the Go module mirror. It solves connectivity issues for developers in regions with restricted access to module sources like proxy.golang.org. The tool can be deployed as a private module proxy for internal packages or as a public mirror for community use.

Key Features:

High-performance caching to reduce build times and bandwidth
Support for both public Go modules and private repositories
Minimal configuration and easy deployment as a standalone binary
Compatible with the standard Go proxy protocol

Use Cases:

Accelerating Go module downloads in China and other regions with poor connectivity to global mirrors
Hosting a private proxy for internal Go modules within an organization
Creating a local caching proxy to ensure reproducible builds and offline development

Alternatives:

Athens – Athens is a more feature-rich Go module proxy with extensive plugin support, while Goproxy is lighter and focused on simplicity and performance.
direct – Direct mode connects to source repositories without caching; Goproxy adds a caching layer for speed and reliability.
