Features

• HTTP Proxies - Provides a Go-based HTTP proxy server that routes network traffic between clients and destination servers.
• Censorship Bypass Routing - Routes network traffic through parent proxies to circumvent regional or national internet censorship.
• Proxy Routing - Routes network traffic through a managed pool of HTTP and SOCKS5 parent proxies to access restricted content.
• Automated Block Detection - Automatically detects unreachable websites and reroutes traffic through parent proxies when direct connections fail.
• Access Control Lists - Uses configuration files to define domains that are permanently blocked or accessed directly.
• Censorship Circumvention Tools - Functions as a tool to bypass regional network restrictions by routing blocked sites through parent proxies.
• Direct Connection Routing - Allows specified domains to be accessed directly, bypassing the proxy to ensure connectivity to unrestricted sites.
• Domain Traffic Filters - Matches network requests against domain lists to determine if traffic must be routed through a parent proxy.
• Proxy Load Balancers - Distributes outgoing traffic across a pool of parent proxies using hashing, latency, or backup strategies.
• Connectivity-Based Auto-Routing - Automatically detects unreachable websites and switches traffic between direct access and parent proxies to bypass blocks.
• Proxy Management Systems - Manages pools of parent proxies with integrated load balancing and failure detection mechanisms.
• Upstream Proxy Pools - Maintains and rotates a pool of upstream proxies to ensure reliable connectivity and bypass network censorship.
• Dynamic Proxy Selection - Dynamically selects the optimal proxy node based on success-rate maps and configuration lists.
• SOCKS5 Gateway Tunnels - Implements a SOCKS5 tunneling gateway that manages SSH tunnels for secure remote traffic forwarding.
• Blocked Connection Monitoring - Monitors successful and failed connection attempts per domain to identify blocked websites.
• Host Routing Statistics - Records successful visits and blocked attempts per host to determine the most effective routing method.
• Network Visit Histories - Maintains a timestamped history of visited hosts and success rates to optimize proxy routing.
• Connection Pooling - Reuses active network connections based on host and port to reduce handshake latency.
• Connection Pooling Mechanisms - Shares established network connections between clients to minimize handshake overhead and reduce latency.
• SSH Tunneling Forwarders - Integrates SSH tunneling to establish secure remote sockets and local SOCKS5 proxies.
• Access Control Lists - Implements access control lists to restrict proxy usage based on client IP addresses and password files.
• Client Usage Restrictions - Restricts proxy usage by authenticating users through password files or specific client identifiers.
• SSH Tunneling - Establishes secure tunnels using system commands and public key authentication to create local SOCKS5 proxies.
• Proxy Authentication - Enforces access control on network proxy connections through credential-based validation.
• Host Connectivity Statistics - Tracks connection success rates for hosts to optimize routing decisions and update access lists.
• IP Access Restrictions - Validates client IP addresses and requires credentials to restrict access to the proxy server.
• PAC Script Generators - Generates Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) files to automate routing decisions in web browsers.
