glider

glider is a forward proxy with multiple protocols support, and also a dns forwarding server with ipset management features(like dnsmasq).

we can set up local listeners as proxy servers, and forward requests to internet via forwarders.

                |Forwarder ----------------->|
   Listener --> |                            | Internet
                |Forwarder --> Forwarder->...|

Features

Listen (local proxy server):

• Socks5 proxy(tcp&udp)
• Http proxy(tcp)
• SS proxy(tcp&udp)
• Linux transparent proxy(iptables redirect)
• TCP tunnel
• UDP tunnel
• UDP over TCP tunnel

Forward (local proxy client/upstream proxy server):

• Socks5 proxy(tcp&udp)
• Http proxy(tcp)
• SS proxy(tcp&udp&uot)
• SSR proxy(tcp)
• VMess proxy(tcp)
• TLS, use it together with above proxy protocols(tcp)
• Websocket, use it together with above proxy protocols(tcp)

DNS Forwarding Server (udp2tcp):

• Listen on UDP and forward dns requests to remote dns server in TCP via forwarders
• Specify different upstream dns server based on destinations(in rule file)
• Tunnel mode: forward to a fixed upstream dns server
• Add resolved IPs to proxy rules
• Add resolved IPs to ipset
• DNS cache
• Custom dns record

IPSet Management:

• Add ip/cidrs from rule files on startup
• Add resolved ips for domains from rule files by dns forwarding server

General:

• Http and socks5 on the same port
• Forward chain
• RR/HA/LHA strategy for multiple forwarders
• Periodical proxy checking
• Rule proxy based on destinations: Config Examples
• Send requests from specific ip/interface

TODO:

• IPv6 support in ipset manager
• Transparent UDP proxy (iptables tproxy)
• Performance tuning
• TUN/TAP device support
• SSH tunnel support (maybe)
