PolarProxy 2.0.2 Released

Brief

A few more handy features have been added to PolarProxy , our TLS inspection proxy. PolarProxy can now tunnel outgoing connections through SOCKS proxies and supports environment variables as an alternative to command-line arguments. PolarProxy also ships with a software bill of materials (SBOM), providing greater transparency into its dependencies.

SOCKS Proxy Client

PolarProxy has been able to accept incoming connections over SOCKS since version 0. 9 . With this release, PolarProxy can also send outgoing connections through another SOCKS proxy server. Both SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 are supported. This feature enables many use cases, including inspecting your own HTTPS requests before sending them through the Tor network.

The following command starts a SOCKS proxy on TCP port 1080 and forwards all traffic to a Tor SOCKS5 proxy listening on TCP port 9050.
