SocksBypass

A SOCKS5 proxy server that runs on your iPhone or Android phone so other devices on the same network can route traffic through it.

Why this exists When you tether a laptop to your phone, the laptop's packets are forwarded by the phone. They reach the carrier carrying the laptop's TCP/IP fingerprint and a TTL one hop lower than anything the phone sends itself. That difference is what tethering detection looks for.

This proxy removes it. The laptop speaks SOCKS5 to the phone, and the phone opens its own connection to the destination — so the packets that leave the radio are originated by the phone's own IP stack and look like traffic the phone generated.

This only makes sense over the phone's own hotspot. Pointing a client at the proxy across ordinary Wi-Fi achieves nothing — that client already has the network's own uplink — and it leaves a passwordless gateway listening on a network you do not control.

⚠️ There is no password The proxy accepts NO AUTH connections. Anyone who can reach your phone's address and port can use it as an open relay — including anything else on the café Wi-Fi, the hotel LAN, or a VPN that puts your devices on one flat network. Run it only on a network you control, and stop the app when you are done. The app shows the same warning on screen and it is not dismissible.

Features SOCKS5: NO AUTH, CONNECT, and UDP ASSOCIATE Addressing: IPv4, IPv6, and domain names (ATYP 0x01 / 0x04 / 0x03) Traffic monitoring: live upload/download rate, cumulative totals, active TCP/UDP session counts, and a recent-activity log Reachable addresses: every interface a client could connect to, hotspot first, refreshed as you switch networks
