About:
Gost is a versatile reverse proxy and tunneling tool written in Go that creates secure tunnels over TCP, UDP, HTTP, and other protocols. It supports multi-hop forwarding, various authentication methods, and advanced features like traffic obfuscation and load balancing. The tool excels at bypassing network restrictions and securing communications in complex environments.
Key Features:
  • Multi-protocol support (TCP, UDP, HTTP, SOCKS5, etc.)
  • Chain forwarding with multi-hop proxy capabilities
  • Built-in encryption and traffic obfuscation
  • Flexible authentication and authorization
  • Cross-platform with minimal dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Creating secure tunnels through restrictive firewalls
  • Building multi-hop proxy chains for enhanced privacy
  • Load balancing and traffic routing across multiple servers
  • Bypassing network censorship and geographic restrictions
Alternatives:
  • frp – Similar tunneling capabilities, but frp focuses more on exposing local services to remote access
  • ssh – Built-in tunneling, but Gost offers more protocol support and advanced routing features
  • shadowsocks – Simpler SOCKS5 proxy, while Gost provides broader protocol support and forwarding chains
