Transparent proxy with nftables

This is an example of configuring transparent proxy(tproxy) with nftables. The tproxy application is hev-socks5-tproxy

Netfilter rules

DON’T FORGOT TO ADD UPSTREAM ADDRESS TO BYPASS IPSET!! Or use nftables skuid/skgid match to exclude proxy process.

    }
}

Routing rules

ip rule add fwmark 1088 table 100
ip route add local default dev lo table 100

ip -6 rule add fwmark 1088 table 100
ip -6 route add local default dev lo table 100
