psocks

Filtering asynchronous SOCKS5 (TCP/UDP) proxy server based on fast-socks5, featuring allowlist-based access control that drops everything except what is allowed by the user. Includes JSON/API based on Rocket framework.

Goals

Ad/tracking protection (before sending a DNS request)
Reduce CPU usage by filtering extra SSL traffic on background

Roadmap

SOCKS5 (TCP/UDP) server
Web JSON/API
Web UI

Install

cargo install psocks

Usage

RUST_LOG=trace psokcs -c=/path/to/config.toml no-auth

- /api/totals - blocking summary
- /api/list/enable/<ID> - enable all parsed rules of given list ID ([list.ID] in your config)
- /api/list/disable/<ID> - disable all parsed rules of given list ID ([list.ID] in your config)
