Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a local protocol server associated with a secure networking engine that provides client-side forwarding in a secure networking system. The local protocol server (e.g., local TCP/UDP server)—on a client device—operates based on client-side forwarding operations that include: IP assignment, operating system (OS) routing, destination network address translation, and original destination retrieval to support accessing a network resource (e.g., socket connection) on the client device and support communications between client applications on the client device and the local protocol server on the same client device. In this way, the local protocol server supports communications of a diverse set of data traffic or network traffic (e.g., different types of cross-platform communications), where the diverse set of network traffic is initially communicated from a client application and processed for network security operations at the local protocol sever of within the same client device.
