2. Clone the project $ git clone https://github.com/KaranGauswami/socks-to-http-proxy.git && cd socks-to-http-proxy
3. Build the project $ cargo build --release

Usage

sthp -p 8080 -s 127.0.0.1:1080

This will create proxy server on 8080 and use localhost:1080 as a Socks5 Proxy

sthp -p 8080 -s example.com:8080

This will create proxy server on 8080 and use example:1080 as a Socks5 Proxy

[!NOTE]
The --socks-address (-s) flag does not support adding a schema at the start (e.g., socks:// or socks5h://). Currently, it only supports socks5h, which means DNS resolution will be done on the SOCKS server.

[!WARNING] After v5, Changed default listening IP from 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1. This change restricts the application access to the local machine only.
