Dae
dae is a high-performance Linux network tool that functions as an eBPF transparent proxy. It intercepts and redirects packets at the kernel level to route internet traffic based on domains, IP addresses, and process names.
The project distinguishes itself by modifying TLS handshakes to simulate browser signatures, which prevents server-side detection of proxy traffic. It also implements a full-cone network address translation gateway to maintain stable bidirectional connections and utilizes a latency-based node selector to automatically route traffic through the fastest available proxy nodes.
Broad capabilities include multi-protocol proxy management, advanced DNS traffic control to prevent pollution, and network filtering using geo-IP databases and domain lists. The system further optimizes performance by forwarding non-proxied traffic through kernel-stage Layer 3 routing to minimize transitions between kernel and user space.
