socks5-proxy-server

The 'socks5-proxy-server' is an open-source implementation of a SOCKS5 proxy server written in the Go programming language. It aims to provide a simple, efficient, and easily deployable solution for users who need to establish SOCKS5 proxy connections. Being written in Go, it benefits from Go's strong concurrency features, making it performant and capable of handling multiple connections simultaneously with a relatively low resource footprint.

This tool is particularly useful for developers and system administrators looking for a straightforward proxy solution without the complexity of more feature-rich alternatives. It focuses on the core SOCKS5 protocol, allowing users to route their network traffic through a specified server. While it excels in simplicity and performance, users should be aware of its limitations regarding advanced features like authentication and encryption, which would need to be handled by external means or additional layers.
