About:
Tun2proxy creates a virtual network interface (TUN) that routes IPv4 and IPv6 traffic through SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy servers. It enables applications that lack native proxy support to securely access the internet via a central proxy gateway. This is particularly useful for unifying network egress points across diverse tools and services.
Key Features:
  • Transparently tunnels TCP and UDP traffic via SOCKS5/HTTP proxies
  • Supports IPv4 and IPv6 protocols
  • Runs as a lightweight, user-space daemon
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows, Android)
Use Cases:
  • Routing traffic for command-line tools through a corporate proxy
  • Enabling proxy support for mobile applications on Android
  • Creating a unified network gateway for containerized workloads
Alternatives:
  • proxychains-ng – Proxychains hooks library calls, whereas tun2proxy operates at the network layer via a TUN interface, offering broader protocol support like UDP.
  • clash – Clash is a rule-based proxy manager with a GUI, while tun2proxy focuses on being a lightweight, low-level tunneling utility.
