SocksTun

About SocksTun

SocksTun routes Android network traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy by creating a VPN-style tunnel. It uses tun2socks to redirect connections, with support for both TCP and UDP. Users can configure proxy username and password, specify DNS servers, and choose IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack operation. The app offers global and per-application modes, allowing either the whole device or selected apps to use the proxy. This makes it possible to direct different traffic through the configured SOCKS5 endpoint while retaining normal routing for apps outside the selection. SocksTun is a network-routing utility rather than a proxy service: users need access to a SOCKS5 server and must configure its details. The supplied description does not specify encryption between the device and proxy, so the tunnel should not be assumed to add encryption beyond what the configured proxy provides. The app is useful for Android users who want to send TCP and UDP traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy, with per-app selection, authentication, and DNS configuration. Its operation depends on the proxy endpoint and network conditions.
