python-proxy

python-proxy, also known as pproxy, is a lightweight proxy tool written in Python for flexible local and remote traffic forwarding. It supports multiple proxy protocols, making it useful for developers, testers, and network administrators who need a compact proxy layer without a heavy service stack. The project can operate as a client, server, forward proxy, reverse proxy, or protocol bridge depending on how it is configured. It supports HTTP, SOCKS4, SOCKS5, Shadowsocks, and newer transport options such as HTTP/2, HTTP/3, and QUIC when the required dependencies are installed. python-proxy also includes SSL-related options, chaining behavior, and multiple connection modes for advanced routing setups. Its main value is giving users a scriptable, portable, and protocol-diverse proxy utility in a Python ecosystem.
