MAINTENANCE MODE
================

[](#maintenance-mode)

This repository is currently in the process of being split up into a simple blocking client implementation and an async non-blocking client and server implementation. See [issue #2](https://github.com/clue/php-socks/issues/2) for details.

- If you're already using this library in legacy v0.4, consider upgrading to [clue/socks-react](https://github.com/clue/php-socks-react). Upgrading should take no longer than 10 minutes, see the CHANGELOG.md for details.
- If you're looking for an async non-blocking client and server implementation, head over to [clue/socks-react](https://github.com/clue/php-socks-react).
- If you're looking for the simple blocking client implementation, your best bet is to wait for [issue #2](https://github.com/clue/php-socks/issues/2) to be completed. Feel like contributing? :)

The following description applies to legacy v0.4, which has already been migrated to [clue/socks-react](https://github.com/clue/php-socks-react).

[](#cluesocks---socks-client-and-server-)

Async SOCKS client library to connect to SOCKS4, SOCKS4a and SOCKS5 proxy servers, as well as a SOCKS server implementation, capable of handling multiple concurrent connections in a non-blocking fashion.

Description
-----------

[](#description)

The SOCKS protocol family can be used to easily tunnel TCP connections independent of the actual application level protocol, such as HTTP, SMTP, IMAP, Telnet, etc.

Quickstart examples
-------------------

[](#quickstart-examples)

Once [installed](#install), initialize a connection to a remote SOCKS proxy server:
