Ever thought of tunneling traffic over Azure Blob Storage? π€βοΈ
ProxyBlob lets you run a SOCKS5 proxy using Azure Storage as the communication channel. Useful in restrictive networks where only `*.blob.core.windows.net` is accessible. #Azure #Proxy #Networking

Why does ProxyBlob need Azure Storage? π‘π¦
It creates a clever detour: Agents in target networks poll Azure Blob for tasks, while the proxy writes requests there. This avoids direct network connections for environments with strict rules. #Tech #CloudComputing

Missing direct network access but have Azure? Try Azurite! π₯οΈπ¨
ProxyBlob's agent also supports testing with Azurite, an open-source Azure Storage emulator. Use Docker or a VS Code extension to simulate an Azure Blob environment locally. #DevOps #Testing

How do SOCKS proxies over Azure even work? Let's simplify: π―
1. Proxy writes packets to Blob Storage.
2. Agent polls Blob, handles requests, and writes responses back.
3. Proxy retrieves responses, keeping the SOCKS5 flow alive. Smart and efficient. #Networking #Azure

Using ProxyBlob on-prem? Here's an essential setup note:
Test with `Azurite` before deploying on actual Azure. It emulates storage accounts with default credentials, helping validate configurations without cloud costs or risks. #CloudTools
