A secure and efficient HTTP/HTTPS proxy server and client written in Rust.

• HTTP and HTTPS proxy support
• Client-server architecture
• Secure communication with AES-256-GCM encryption
• Multiple proxy modes:
  • HTTP proxy
  • Transparent proxy
• Authentication mechanism
• Asynchronous I/O with Tokio
• Configurable via TOML files

• Rust and Cargo (1.75.0 or later recommended)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/proxy-rs.git
cd proxy-rs

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# The binaries will be available in target/release/

1. Configure the server by editing config/server.toml:

bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:1024"  # Address and port to listen on
auth_key = "your_secret_key"  # Authentication key

2. Run the server:

cargo run --bin server
# Or use the binary directly
./target/release/server

1. Configure the client by editing config/client.toml:

local_addr = "127.0.0.1:8888"  # Local address and port to listen on
server_addr = "http://server_ip:1024"  # Address of the proxy server
auth_key = "your_secret_key"  # Authentication key (must match server)
mode = "Http"  # Proxy mode: Http, Socks5, or Transparent

2. Run the client:

cargo run --bin client
# Or use the binary directly
./target/release/client

3. Configure your browser or application to use the proxy at the address specified in local_addr (e.g., 127.0.0.1:8888).

• All communication between client and server is encrypted using AES-256-GCM
• Authentication is required for all connections
• Passwords are hashed using SHA-256
