# Hydra5: load-balanced (multi-headed) SOCKS5 proxy

Given a list of hosts hydra5 opens a pool of SOCKS5 tunnels and routes incoming requests via a random tunnel. In effect, hydra5 is a regular SOCKS5 proxy, except that each outbound request is automatically load-balanced.

![hydra overview](https://github.com/igrigorik/hydra5/raw/master/misc/hydra.png)

Hydra uses SSH to establish the SOCKS5 tunnels and [em-proxy](https://github.com/igrigorik/em-proxy) to provide the transparent routing for any SOCKS5 compatible client.

## Getting started

```

$> gem install hydra5

$> hydra5 --listen 8080 --hosts host1,host2 --key ssh_key.pub --user name --verbose

```

```ruby

c = Curl::Easy.new('http://jsonip.com')

c.proxy_url = 'localhost:8080'

c.proxy_type = Curl::CURLPROXY_SOCKS5

c.perform

c.body_str # => => {"ip":"72.52.131.237"}

c.perform

c.body_str # => => {"ip":"34.22.124.45"}

```

Of course, you can also convert hydra5 into a proper HTTP proxy by deploying [privoxy](http://www.privoxy.org/) or an equivalent tool in front.
