Verlauf

Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Brook is TxThinking's cross-platform programmable network tool, packaged as a Go-based proxy/VPN-style command-line program with clients for desktop, mobile, Linux, and OpenWrt. Its public positioning has shifted from a simple encrypted proxy toward a broader programmable network layer.

Projektgeschichte

The official GitHub repository describes Brook as a cross-platform programmable network tool and documents a basic server/client workflow around commands such as `brook server` and `brook link`. Its tag history includes date-stamped releases starting in 2017, showing a long-running release model rather than a one-off proxy experiment.

The current official product page emphasizes system-level networking, TCP/UDP/IPv4/IPv6 coverage, client-side and server-side programmability, DNS and routing control, packet capture, MITM HTTP/HTTPS capabilities, and cross-platform clients for iOS, macOS, Android, Windows, and Linux.

Adoptionsgeschichte

Brook's adoption is strongest in the privacy, proxy, and programmable-networking niche. GitHub shows a large open-source audience with thousands of stars and forks, while the input package facts show distribution through Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, and other Unix-like package channels.

Wie es verwendet wird

Common use starts with a Brook server listening on a port and a client or generated link carrying connection parameters. Later Brook workflows extend into system-wide routing, DNS policy, destination rewriting, application-level controls, and OpenWrt or mobile clients.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Brook is notable in package-manager history as one of several post-Shadowsocks-era Go networking tools that package cleanly into a single binary while covering a wide surface area: proxying, VPN-like routing, mobile clients, DNS policy, and traffic inspection. Its date-based release tags also make it recognizable in rolling-release packaging.

Zeitleiste

2017-03-16: Earliest public release tag observed in the official Git repository.
2017-2020s: Brook evolves through frequent date-stamped releases.
2025-12-31: GitHub lists v20260101 as the latest release at the time researched.

Related projects

Related networking packages include Shadowsocks, V2Ray/Xray, sing-box, gost, WireGuard, OpenVPN, and OpenWrt proxy tooling. Brook differs by combining proxy transport, programmable policy, and cross-platform commercial-style clients around the same project.
