About:
Ocproxy is a user-level SOCKS and port forwarding proxy that runs entirely in userspace. It allows users to create network tunnels without requiring root privileges, making it ideal for restricted environments. The tool provides secure connectivity for applications that need to bypass firewalls or route traffic through intermediate hosts.
Key Features:
  • User-level operation without root privileges
  • SOCKS5 proxy and port forwarding capabilities
  • Lightweight and standalone implementation
  • Works in restricted or containerized environments
Use Cases:
  • Creating secure SSH tunnels for application traffic
  • Bypassing corporate firewalls for development work
  • Routing traffic through intermediate hosts in cloud environments
Alternatives:
  • ssh -D – Built-in SSH SOCKS proxy, requires SSH connection but is more widely available
  • proxychains – Library preloader for proxying connections, more complex setup but supports multiple proxy types
  • redsocks – Transparent proxy redirector, requires root for iptables setup but handles system-wide traffic
