Versions:
tun2socks v2.6.0, published by xjasonlyu, is a lightweight network-layer proxy client that tunnels Layer-3 traffic into SOCKS5 connections by creating a virtual TUN interface on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Built around Google’s gVisor user-space TCP/IP stack, the utility intercepts outbound packets from any application—even those without native proxy support—and transparently forwards them through a remote SOCKS5 server, eliminating the need for per-app configuration or root privileges on most systems. Typical use cases include routing all system traffic through an SSH dynamic forwarding channel, bypassing regional restrictions on streaming or gaming platforms, isolating corporate traffic inside personal devices, and chaining multiple privacy relays without touching individual browser or client settings. Because the gVisor engine runs entirely in user space, tun2socks avoids kernel-level drivers and remains portable across three major desktop platforms while delivering consistent IPv4/IPv6 handling, MTU auto-discovery, and minimal CPU overhead. The project has released three numbered versions so far, each refining memory usage, UDP relay stability, and TAP adapter compatibility on Windows. Network utilities & proxy tools is the most relevant catalog category. tun2socks is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
