history

Project history and usage

spoofdpi is a Go-based anti-censorship and DPI-circumvention proxy tool that exposes both a simple default CLI invocation and TOML configuration for more controlled packet-manipulation behavior.

Project history

The official documentation describes spoofdpi as a lightweight, flexible tool for circumventing Deep Packet Inspection through packet manipulation. The GitHub repository was created in 2021, and the project documentation now presents a structured user guide with install, quick-start, options, and configuration examples.

Adoption history

spoofdpi is packaged beyond a single ecosystem: the input records Homebrew, DNF, and Nix packages, while the official install page documents Homebrew, Arch, Fedora, and FreeBSD examples and warns that package-manager versions may lag the latest release.

How it is used

The simplest official use is running `spoofdpi` with defaults. Users can then move to command-line flags or a TOML file for DNS, HTTPS, UDP, connection, app-mode, and rule-based routing options.

Why package nerds care

For package maintainers, spoofdpi is interesting because it packages a censorship-circumvention workflow as a single binary with OS-specific libpcap requirements and standard config-file discovery. It also sits in the familiar package-manager tension between fast upstream releases and distro formulas that may trail.

Timeline

2021: GitHub repository created.
2025: Official documentation copyright year on spoofdpi.dev.
2026: GitHub metadata shows active development and a May 2026 latest release.
