About this app

Deadlight Proxy is a powerful, native Android proxy server that brings a complete multi-protocol networking stack directly to your phone or tablet.

Unlike most proxy apps that simply forward traffic to remote services, Deadlight runs the full proxy engine locally using a high-performance ARM64-native binary written in C. Perfect for developers, privacy enthusiasts, security researchers, and anyone who needs reliable networking in challenging conditions.

Key Features
- Full local proxy: HTTP/HTTPS, SOCKS4/5, WebSocket tunneling
- SMTP/IMAP/FTP forwarding with automatic protocol detection
- Connection pooling and health checks
- Built-in REST API for automation and scripting
- Real-time traffic inspection and detailed logging with filter controls
- Background operation with low resource usage
- Completely offline-capable and locally contained

Designed for unreliable networks, mobile edge deployments, travel, and off-grid scenarios. Part of the open-source Deadlight ecosystem focused on resilient, infrastructure-resistant communication.

Use it:
- Running a local SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy on your device
- Traffic inspection and debugging
- Privacy and security research
- Mesh, satellite, or intermittent connectivity setups
- Developers who need a portable proxy toolkit

Fully open source, available at Github
