## Description

naiveproxy is a censorship circumvention tool and traffic obfuscation proxy. It functions as an HTTP/2 transport proxy that tunnels SOCKS5 traffic over HTTP/2 to hide network activity and bypass network blocks.

The project distinguishes itself by mimicking standard web browser requests to evade deep packet inspection. It employs traffic camouflage techniques such as redirecting unauthorized probing requests to decoy web servers and using randomized packet padding to defeat length-based traffic analysis.

The software provides a local SOCKS5 proxy endpoint, credential-based request authentication, and a proxy auto-configuration server for mobile devices. It includes optimizations for connection latency and network throughput.

The project supports static binary compilation for multiple CPU architectures to facilitate deployment on embedded router hardware and integrates as a background system service on Linux.
