XX-Net is a cross-platform desktop application that functions as a local proxy server and network traffic router. It intercepts outgoing network requests from a local machine and redirects them through encrypted tunnels to a distributed mesh of cloud-based nodes, facilitating secure and reliable access to external resources.
The main features of xx-net/xx-net are: Proxy Meshes, Censorship Circumvention Tools, Cross-Platform Proxy Clients, Traffic Routers, Encrypted Tunneling Protocols, Distributed Proxy Managers, Local Proxy Gateways, Secure Tunnel Clients.

Lantern is a network utility designed to provide access to restricted internet content by tunneling traffic through encrypted connections. It functions as a censorship circumvention tool that enables private web browsing and ensures reliable connectivity in environments where standard network access is blocked or monitored. The application employs a decentralized infrastructure that routes data through a network of distributed proxy nodes. To maintain connectivity in the face of interference, it utilizes dynamic proxy discovery and adaptive fallback mechanisms that automatically switch betwee
Surfboard is a cross-platform network client and VPN manager that provides a graphical interface for establishing secure tunnel connections. It functions as a multi-protocol proxy client and a rule-based traffic router, directing outbound requests to specific proxies or bypassing them based on domain and IP patterns. The application acts as a connection orchestrator, allowing users to import, organize, and switch between multiple virtual private network profiles and server configurations. It implements various proxy standards to route traffic through remote servers for privacy and access. Th
MasterDnsVPN is a DNS tunneling VPN and network censorship bypass tool that encapsulates network traffic within DNS queries to circumvent restrictive firewalls. It functions as a secure tunneling protocol and SOCKS5 proxy server, allowing local application traffic to be routed through a secure tunnel to a remote destination. The project distinguishes itself through a DNS resolver load balancer that distributes traffic across multiple resolvers based on latency and packet loss scoring. It further secures and masks traffic using symmetric payload encryption—supporting ChaCha20, AES-GCM, and XOR
Clash Nyanpasu is a network proxy client and graphical user interface for managing Clash network cores. It functions as a proxy manager and traffic monitoring dashboard, allowing users to route system traffic and handle proxying through a visual interface. The project distinguishes itself by providing a TUN mode proxy manager for controlling system-wide network tunneling. It features a core-agnostic API layer that standardizes communication between the interface and various interchangeable network core implementations. The application covers proxy configuration management, including profile
