# psocks
Filtering asynchronous SOCKS5 (TCP/UDP) proxy server based on [fast-socks5](https://github.com/dizda/fast-socks5/blob/master/examples/server.rs), featuring allowlist-based access control that drops everything except what is allowed by the user. Includes JSON/API based on [Rocket](https://rocket.rs) framework.
## Goals
* Ad/tracking protection (before sending a DNS request)
* Reduce CPU usage by filtering extra SSL traffic on background
## Roadmap
* [x] SOCKS5 (TCP/UDP) server
* [x] Web JSON/API
* [ ] Web UI
## Usage
``` bash
RUST_LOG=trace cargo run -- --allow=http://localhost/allow.txt \
--allow=/path/to/allow.txt \
no-auth
```
* set `socks5://127.0.0.1:1080` proxy in your application
* use http://127.0.0.1:8010 for API:
* `/api/allow/{domain.com}` - add rule to the current session
* `/api/block/{domain.com}` - delete rule from the current session
* `/api/rules` - return active rules (from server memory)
### Allow list example
``` /path/to/allow.txt
# /path/to/allow.txt
// exact match
duckduckgo.com
// google.com with subdomains
.google.com
// IP
1.2.3.4
```
