System-wide routing
Desktop routes are configured automatically and restored when the tunnel stops. Android uses the native, rootless VpnService.

One tunnel. Every app.
Built for the traffic
your browser cannot reach.
Route applications that do not understand SOCKS through the same proxy—without configuring each one separately.
Embedded Go engine
tun2socks is compiled directly into the client as a Go dependency. Nothing extra to download or supervise.
Live traffic stats
See session totals and current download/upload speed in the GUI or enable them in the CLI.
Browser-ready DNS
Android sends DNS-over-HTTPS through SOCKS and forces reliable TCP fallback when QUIC is unavailable.
One-tap configuration
Open a socks2vpn:// link to fill the GUI safely. The application never connects automatically.
Verified releases
Every release includes SHA-256 checksums. Windows verifies Wintun before loading it.
Simple by design
From proxy to full tunnel in three steps.
Enter your proxy
Choose SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 and provide the server details. Credentials stay in process memory.
Create the tunnel
The embedded engine opens a TUN interface and keeps the proxy connection outside its own route.
Use any application
Your TCP traffic follows the proxy. SOCKS5 can also carry UDP when the server supports it.
Ready when you are
Install in under a minute.
Choose your platform. Releases are built automatically and published with checksums.

Detects your OS and CPU, verifies SHA-256, and registers configuration links.

Launch with administrator privileges so the app can create routes. The GUI will alert you if privileges are missing.
Transparent and inspectable
Your tunnel should not be a black box.
The source is public, the client uses an embedded Go network stack, keeps passwords out of preferences, verifies native downloads, and restores network settings after a normal shutdown.
