winter-socks5

WinterSOCKS5 is a CLI frontend for the following SOCKS5 Go implementations:

• theriverman/go-socks5 (forked from armon/go-socks5).
• txthinking/socks5

SOCKS (Secure Sockets) is used to route traffic between a client and a server through an intermediate proxy layer. This can be used to bypass firewalls or NATs.

See Releases for pre-compiled binaries (Linux, macOS, Windows). A separate binary is provided for each backend.
