HTTP/SOCKS Server

Share your proxy connection as a local HTTP or SOCKS server

VX can expose a local HTTP and/or SOCKS5 server so other devices or apps on your network use the same proxy connection.

Proxy Share Mode

When enabled, vx-core listens on a configurable address and port and accepts incoming HTTP CONNECT and SOCKS5 connections. Traffic from those clients is routed through the same outbounds and rules as the VX app itself.

System Proxy Mode

Alternatively, VX can set the system proxy (HTTP + SOCKS on localhost) without full TUN:

  • Lighter weight than TUN mode
  • Works for apps that respect system proxy settings
  • Dynamic port assignment available to avoid conflicts

Use Cases

  • Share a VPN/proxy connection with a game console or TV on the LAN
  • Let another browser or tool use VX without installing it
  • Test clients against your current routing setup

Settings

  • Listen address (default localhost; can bind to LAN interface for sharing)
  • Port (fixed or dynamically assigned)
  • UDP support for SOCKS5

Security Note

Binding to 0.0.0.0 exposes the proxy to your local network. Only enable LAN sharing on trusted networks and consider firewall rules.
