Normally in order to route HTTP/HTTPS traffics of browser to brook, I would set the socks5 proxy in browser proxy setting control panel. Or system-wide proxy by setting env variables. But it does not work on video game. Especially for games running on steam platform. For those types of game, they communicate with server by socket connections directly not using HTTP/HTTPS. Coz in wireshark I did not see any https traffics sent out Instead they have a custom protocol built on top of TCP. How to make brook working on video games?

How about transparent proxy with brook, you may need something like nanopi R1S or nanopi R2S.
