Ooxy – a general-purpose protocol bridge

Hacker News

I’ve been hacking on Ooxy, an open-source protocol bridge. Unlike tools tied to a single layer, Ooxy is meant to bridge across layers and protocols. Ooxy is inspired by cloudflare's oxy proxy framework: https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-oxy/ Right now, making ooxy work as Layer 3 → Layer 7 bridge, letting proxy-unaware devices speak through HTTP/S proxies. The idea is to grow it into a reusable way to connect otherwise incompatible protocols. Repo: github.com/Rits1272/ooxy I’d love feedback on which protocol bridges would be most useful, and where this could go next.
