SmarGate
SmarGate is a network utility designed as an intranet penetration tool, peer-to-peer network tunnel, and remote device management gateway. It functions as a system for bypassing NAT and firewalls to expose internal services to the public internet, while also providing SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy capabilities and SSL/TLS encrypted tunnels.
The project distinguishes itself by implementing hybrid routing that combines direct peer-to-peer TCP links with cloud-based proxy relaying to reduce latency. It features real-time dynamic port mapping that allows network redirections to be updated via a mobile client without requiring server restarts.
The software covers a broad range of networking capabilities, including internal and server-to-server port mapping, multi-hop proxy chaining, and IPv6 network bridging. It provides tools for remote device administration, such as resumable file management, real-time audio streaming, and GPS location tracking. Security is managed through certificate-based encryption, proxy authentication, and domain whitelisting.
Features
