    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Implements a high-performance transparent proxy on Linux using eBPF for efficient traffic splitting and routing.
    • Minimizes performance loss and resource consumption by enabling direct traffic bypass without proxy forwarding overhead.
    • Use for optimizing network traffic routing in SD-WAN environments with fine-grained process and MAC address based policies.
    • Use for deploying advanced proxy solutions supporting multiple protocols like shadowsocks and trojan with full-cone NAT.
    • Use for automating node selection based on latency tests for TCP/UDP/IPv4/IPv6 traffic to improve connection quality.

    AGPL 3.0

    Network copyleft: like the GPL, and also triggered by offering the software over a network.

    Watch-outs

    • AGPL-style copyleft also applies when the software is offered over a network.

    From the README

    dae, means goose, is a high-performance transparent proxy solution.

    To enhance traffic split performance as much as possible, dae employs the transparent proxy and traffic split suite within the Linux kernel using eBPF. As a result, dae can enable direct traffic to bypass the proxy application's forwarding, facilitating genuine direct traffic passage. Through this remarkable feat, there is minimal performance loss and negligible additional resource consumption for direct traffic.

    As a successor of v2rayA, dae abandoned v2ray-core to meet the needs of users more freely.
