Versions:
nanoproxy is a lightweight, open-source SOCKS5 proxy server written in Go and maintained by developer ryanbekhen; currently at version 0.16.0, it has evolved through fifteen incremental releases that collectively refine connection handling, authentication options, and cross-platform stability. Designed for simplicity and minimal resource footprint, the tool enables users to tunnel TCP traffic through a standards-compliant SOCKS5 intermediary, making it suitable for privacy-conscious browsing, geo-restriction circumvention, secure remote administration, or embedding within larger automation pipelines that require transparent proxy support. Because the entire implementation is contained in a single self-contained binary, deployment is reduced to downloading the appropriate build for Windows, Linux, or macOS and launching it with a short command-line string that specifies listen address, port, and optional username–password authentication. The Go codebase compiles to native machine code without external dependencies, so nanoproxy can run on low-power hardware, cloud micro-instances, or containerized environments where larger proxy suites would be impractical. Network administrators value its ability to provide instant, protocol-compliant relay services for legacy applications that lack native proxy awareness, while developers leverage its open license to study a concise reference implementation of the SOCKS5 RFC. Each release tag published on the project repository includes pre-built checksum-verified artifacts, allowing users to pin specific versions or roll forward rapidly when new performance patches appear. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
