mieru is a secure proxy software suite built around a client called mieru and a server called mita. It is designed to provide SOCKS5, HTTP, and HTTPS proxy access over TCP or UDP-based transport. The project emphasizes traffic that is difficult to classify or probe, making it relevant for privacy-focused and censorship-resistance research. It includes encrypted communication and uses a dedicated protocol rather than simply wrapping a common proxy format. mieru can run on multiple platforms...

...The Apps Script component acts as a relay and forwards encrypted data without holding the plaintext key. The VPS exit server decrypts the traffic, opens the real outbound connection, and returns responses through the same relay path. This design allows SOCKS5-compatible applications to use the tunnel while the network path mainly sees HTTPS traffic to Google infrastructure. GooseRelayVPN is a specialized transport system that requires a VPS and should be used only where it complies with applicable rules and service terms.

Piko is an open-source reverse proxy and tunneling system designed as a self-hostable alternative to ngrok. It lets upstream services open outbound-only connections to Piko, then routes incoming traffic back through those established tunnels. This design is useful for services that are private, behind NAT, firewalled, or otherwise not publicly routable. Piko is built for production-oriented hosting rather than only short-lived development demos.
