HTTP CONNECT Tunneling - Full RFC 7231 compliance
TCP_NODELAY Optimization - Minimized latency
Async/Await Architecture - Modern asyncio-based operations

Protocol Support

🎲 Multi-Proxy Management

Load Balancing Strategies

Round-Robin - Even distribution across proxies
Random - Randomly select from available proxies
Least-Used - Route to proxy with fewest connections

Reliability Features

Automatic Failover - Seamless switching to healthy proxies
Health Monitoring - Background checks with configurable intervals
Connection Pooling - Efficient connection reuse
Retry with Backoff - Smart retry logic for failed requests
Connection Validation - Verify proxy responses before use

📊 Monitoring & Statistics

Track everything that matters:

Success/Failure Rates - Per-proxy and aggregate statistics
Response Time Metrics - Average, min, max latencies
Usage Statistics - Request counts and active connections
Real-time Health Status - Live proxy health monitoring
Performance Analytics - Historical data tracking

🎯 Advanced Features (Exclusive to PyRoxi)

💡 Usage Examples

Simple Single Proxy

import asyncio
from pyroxi import Connection

async def main():
    async with Connection("127.0.0.1", 1080, 'socks5') as conn:
        await conn.connect("example.com", 80)
        await conn.send_data(b"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n")
        response = await conn.receive_all(timeout=10)
        print(response.decode())

asyncio.run(main())

Multi-Proxy with Automatic Failover

from pyroxi import EnhancedProxyManager, ProxySelectionStrategy

proxies = [
    {'address': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 1080, 'type': 'socks5'},
    {'address': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 1081, 'type': 'socks5'},
    {'address': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 8080, 'type': 'http'},
]

async with EnhancedProxyManager(
    proxies=proxies,
    strategy=ProxySelectionStrategy.FASTEST,
    enable_failover=True,
    health_check_interval=60
) as manager:
    response = await manager.send_tcp_data('example.com', 80, b"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n")
    print(f"Success! Received {len(response)} bytes")

With Authentication

conn = Connection(
    "proxy.example.com", 
    1080, 
    'socks5',
    username="user",
    password="pass"
)

🛡️ Security Features

No Credentials in Logs - Sensitive data never logged
Secure Authentication - Proper SOCKS5/HTTP auth
Connection Validation - Verify responses before use
Timeout Protection - Prevent hanging connections
Error Isolation - Failed proxies don't affect others

🔄 Migration Guide

From urllib/requests

# Old way (slow)
import requests
response = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies={'http': 'socks5://127.0.0.1:1080'})

# PyRoxi way (fast)
from pyroxi import Connection
async with Connection("127.0.0.1", 1080, 'socks5') as conn:
    await conn.connect("example.com", 80)
    # Direct socket operations - 10-100x faster!

From PySocks

# Old way (limited)
import socks
import socket
sock = socks.socksocket()
sock.set_proxy(socks.SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 1080)

# PyRoxi way (feature-rich)
from pyroxi import EnhancedProxyManager
async with EnhancedProxyManager(proxies=[...]) as manager:
    # Built-in load balancing, failover, health checks, statistics!
