eBPF makes networking blazingly fast

Welcome to daeuniverse 👋🏻

dae is an open-source, Linux high-performance transparent proxy solution, fueled by the revolutionary Kernel technology eBPF.

dae has also been recognized as an emerging application in the eBPF project lanscape. Learn more about eBPF at ebpf.io

Build License star version lastcommit

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.

Features

  • Implement Real Direct traffic split (need ipforward on) to achieve high performance.
  • Support to split traffic by process name in local host.
  • Support to split traffic by MAC address in LAN.
  • Support to split traffic with invert match rules.
  • Support to automatically switch nodes according to policy. That is to say, support to automatically test independent TCP/UDP/IPv4/IPv6 latencies, and then use the best nodes for corresponding traffic according to user-defined policy.
  • Support advanced DNS resolution process.
  • Support full-cone NAT.
  • Support various trending proxy protocols, seen in proxy-protocols.md.
