SafeSurf Protocol (SSP) is a state-of-the-art, defensive networking implementation designed to provide a "clean-pipe" experience for users navigating anonymization networks (Tor, I2P). Unlike traditional proxies that focus solely on identity, SafeSurf prioritizes Content Integrity and Metadata Hardening.
By intercepting and "washing" traffic at the protocol level, SafeSurf neutralizes browser-based exploits, strips malicious telemetry, and provides a deterministic safety score for every node you visit.
SafeSurf operates as a local security controller that "washes" untrusted network traffic before it reaches your applications. It follows a Defense-in-Depth model: Browser -> SafeSurf -> Tor.

SafeSurf implements a sophisticated proxy-chaining mechanism to ensure no data is processed without inspection.

# 1. Clone & Secure
git clone https://github.com/the-shadow-0/SafeSurf-protocol.git
cd SafeSurf-protocol
# 2. Production Optimized Build
cargo build --release
# 3. Register System Service
sudo cp target/release/safe_surfd /usr/bin/
sudo cp safe-surfd.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now safe_surfdRoute every application on your machine through the safety engine with a single command:
# Enable Global Transparency
./target/release/safe_surf_cli sys-setup --enableNote: This utilizes GNOME GSettings and environment injection for maximum coverage.
Configure Tor Browser to use SafeSurf as its Primary HTTP Proxy (127.0.0.1:8080).
- Result: You gain protection against browser exploits even if Tor's builtin security fails.
Use SafeSurf as a high-security microservice for automated tools.

- Defensive Design: SafeSurf is explicitly built as a shield. It does NOT facilitate illegal access, proxy bypassing, or anonymity service creation.
- Privacy First: We do not log URLs, payloads, or user identifiers. All processing occurs locally on the host.
