Cross-platform C library to establish TCP connections using a proxy. Supports different connection methods: - no proxy (optionally allowing to bind to a local address and/or port) - HTTP proxy: only CONNECT method, only without authentication or basic authentication - SOCKS4: without IDENT functionality - SOCKS5 (RFC 1928): only without authentication or username/password Features: - Currently only support IPv4 TCP connections. - Returns a standard operating system SOCKET that can be manipulated by standard operating system functions like send() and recv()...

...Instead of trying to accelerate a single TCP flow, it improves aggregate throughput by load-balancing many connections—useful for download managers, package managers, or browsers that open multiple requests at once. It can bind new outbound sockets to different interfaces, letting a machine take advantage of Wi-Fi and Ethernet (or multiple uplinks) simultaneously. The utility runs as a simple proxy endpoint, so existing applications can benefit without code changes by pointing their traffic to it. Configuration is intentionally straightforward, making it easy to test with real-world workloads and see the effect on multi-connection downloads. ...
