# Hydra: load-balanced (multi-headed) SOCKS5 proxy | ||
|
||
Given a list of hosts hydra opens a pool of SOCKS5 tunnels and routes incoming requests via a random tunnel. In effect, hydra is a regular SOCKS5 proxy, except that each outbound request is automatically load-balanced. | ||
|
||
[img] | ||
|
||
Hydra uses SSH to establish the SOCKS5 tunnels and [em-proxy](https://github.com/igrigorik/em-proxy) to provide the transparent routing for any SOCKS5 compatible client. | ||
|
||
## Getting started | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$> gem install hydra | ||
$> hydra --listen 8080 --hosts host1,host2 --key ssh_key.pub --verbose | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```ruby | ||
c = Curl::Easy.new('http://whatismyip.org') | ||
c.proxy_url = 'localhost:8080' | ||
c.proxy_type = Curl::CURLPROXY_SOCKS5 | ||
c.perform | ||
c.body_str | ||
|
||
``` | ||
