Wireguard client that exposes itself as a socks5 proxy

Project mention: Psylo browser obscures digital fingerprints by giving each tab its own IP | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-25

Per-container proxy settings are already supported.
I use them for a "home" container that gets routed via my home router's Wireguard VPN independently from all other traffic on my computer (as I don't want to take the performance hit of tunneling everything) using the excellent wireproxy [1].

tun2socks - powered by gVisor TCP/IP stack

Project mention: Httptap: View HTTP/HTTPS requests made by any Linux program | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-03

Interesting. Care to share any info about your setup? Would it be a matter of httptap reading a certain environment variable and then forwarding traffic to a SOCKS proxy?
FWIW there is also the excellent tun2socks (https://github.com/xjasonlyu/tun2socks), which was a significant inspiration for this project, and is specifically designed to forward traffic from a TUN device to a SOCKS proxy.

Project mention: Show HN: Octelium – FOSS Alternative to Teleport, Cloudflare, Tailscale, Ngrok | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-29

Reminds of the confusion when https://openziti.io/ shared on HN a while back. ZTN is a very different beast from WireGuard-derivatives.

Geo-scale, next-generation peer-to-peer sharing platform built on top of OpenZiti.

Project mention: Zrok: An open source sharing solution built on OpenZiti (zero trust networking) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-15

Project mention: Rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-06

I looked at openrsync when I was writing my own https://github.com/gokrazy/rsync implementation (in Go!) and it’s good code :)
It’s a shame that openrsync is not 100% compatible with rsync — I noticed that Apple was starting to switch to openrsync because my own tests broke on macOS 15.
