Description
Bring your own SOCKS5 proxy and make it more flexible with ReSocks. Connect to your existing SOCKS5 through a secure TLS relay while keeping your chosen proxy as the final exit. Use TUN mode to route traffic system-wide, or create per-app and website rules to choose what goes through the proxy and what connects directly. Share proxy access with devices on your LAN, choose from global relay locations, or deploy your own relay for complete control.

Could you build this?
No Creating a system-wide TUN virtual network adapter with per-app and domain packet routing over a TLS-wrapped SOCKS5 relay requires low-level OS kernel and networking engineering across multiple platforms.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires low-level networking software in Rust, Go, or C using OS-specific TUN/TAP drivers (Wintun on Windows, NetworkExtension on macOS/iOS, VpnService on Android). The hard part is building the packet parsing engine (translating raw IP packets into TCP/UDP streams), managing DNS leak prevention, TLS encapsulation, and per-process PID socket filtering at the OS level.
