The multiplatform repository targets Windows, macOS, BSD, and Linux clients. ### Project history The main udp2raw project was created in August 2017 and documents a tunnel for bypassing UDP firewalls, UDP QoS, or unstable UDP environments while adding encryption, anti-replay, multiplexing, and connection stabilization. The multiplatform repository was created in June 2018 to provide native Windows, Mac, and BSD support compatible with the Linux udp2raw server. The multiplatform README and wiki both state that, starting in 2021, the code was merged back into the main udp2raw repository. The multiplatform repository then remained for binary releases, issue discussion, and related wiki pages for Windows, Mac, and BSD users. ### Adoption history udp2raw's adoption is concentrated among VPN, tunnel, OpenWRT, VPS, and censorship/firewall-bypass users who need UDP-based tools to traverse networks that block or degrade UDP. The official README documents combinations with OpenVPN, L2TP, ShadowVPN, tinyfecVPN, kcptun, and related UDP-based workflows. ### How it is used The multiplatform build is used mainly as a client on operating systems where the original Linux raw-socket implementation was not directly usable. Users run udp2raw_mp with a compatible main udp2raw server, often in FakeTCP mode, to carry UDP VPN traffic through networks that treat TCP, ICMP, or shaped UDP differently. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, the package is notable because Homebrew packages the client-only cross-platform branch rather than only the main Linux-oriented project. It is an example of a niche network tunneling tool whose package-manager value is access to a ready-built binary for awkward platforms. ### Timeline - 2017: Main udp2raw repository created and early releases published. - 2018: udp2raw-multiplatform repository created and Windows/Mac version announced in the main wiki. - 2020: Multiplatform wiki news states the code was merged back to the main repository. - 2021: Multiplatform README says the repository became a place for binary releases, issues, and wiki articles. - 2023: Latest GitHub release observed for udp2raw-multiplatform is 20230206.0. ### Related projects - The multiplatform README identifies udp2raw-tunnel as the compatible main project. - The main README documents use with OpenVPN, L2TP, ShadowVPN, tinyfecVPN, kcptun, and UDPspeeder-related workflows. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.repo ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** udp2raw-multiplatform - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [libnet](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libnet/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [autossh](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/autossh/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, tunnel, tunneling. - [dns2tcp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dns2tcp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, tunnel, tunneling. - [ptunnel](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ptunnel/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, icmp, networking, tunneling. - [udptunnel](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/udptunnel/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, tunneling, udp. - [zoro](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/zoro/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, tunnel, tunneling, udp. - [bore-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bore-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, tunneling. - [boring](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/boring/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, tunnel, tunneling. - [cloudflared](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cloudflared/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking, tunnel, tunneling. - [pgrok](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pgrok/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
