glider is a forward proxy with multiple protocols support, and also a dns/dhcp server with ipset management features(like dnsmasq).

we can set up local listeners as proxy servers, and forward requests to internet via forwarders.

                |Forwarder ----------------->|
   Listener --> |                            | Internet
                |Forwarder --> Forwarder->...|

Features

  • Act as both proxy client and proxy server(protocol converter)
  • Flexible proxy & protocol chains
  • Load balancing with the following scheduling algorithm:
    • rr: round robin
    • ha: high availability
    • lha: latency based high availability
    • dh: destination hashing
  • Rule & priority based forwarder choosing: Config Examples
  • DNS forwarding server:
    • dns over proxy
    • force upstream querying by tcp
    • association rules between dns and forwarder choosing
    • association rules between dns and ipset
    • dns cache support
    • custom dns record
  • IPSet management (linux kernel version >= 2.6.32):
    • add ip/cidrs from rule files on startup
    • add resolved ips for domains from rule files by dns forwarding server
  • Serve http and socks5 on the same port
  • Periodical availability checking for forwarders
  • Send requests from specific local ip/interface
  • Services:
    • dhcpd: a simple dhcp server that can run in failover mode

Schemes

glider -scheme all
Direct scheme:

Or you can use the high availability mode:
  glider -verbose -listen :8443 -forward direct://#interface=eth0&priority=100 -forward direct://#interface=eth1&priority=200 -strategy ha

Proxy & Protocol Chains

In glider, you can easily chain several proxy servers or protocols together (click to see details)
  • Chain proxy servers:

    forward=http://1.1.1.1:80,socks5://2.2.2.2:1080,ss://method:[email protected]:8443@
  • Chain protocols: https proxy (http over tls)

    forward=tls://server.com:443,http://
  • Chain protocols: vmess over ws over tls

    forward=tls://server.com:443,ws://,vmess://5a146038-0b56-4e95-b1dc-5c6f5a32cd98@?alterID=2
  • Chain protocols and servers:

    forward=socks5://1.1.1.1:1080,tls://server.com:443,vmess://5a146038-0b56-4e95-b1dc-5c6f5a32cd98@?alterID=2
  • Chain protocols in listener: https proxy server

    listen=tls://:443?cert=crtFilePath&key=keyFilePath,http://
  • Chain protocols in listener: http over smux over websocket proxy server

    listen=ws://:10000,smux://,http://
