A Go library implementation of the [PROXY protocol, versions 1 and 2](http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt),
which provides, as per specification:
> (...) a convenient way to safely transport connection
> information such as a client's address across multiple layers of NAT or TCP
> proxies. It is designed to require little changes to existing components and
> to limit the performance impact caused by the processing of the transported
> information.

This library is to be used in one of or both proxy clients and proxy servers that need to support said protocol.
Both protocol versions, 1 (text-based) and 2 (binary-based) are supported.
