Thanks this helped me a lot.

... Or just use Listener.Close()

Hi! Thanks a lot! Is there way to gracefully stop read from connection?

This is my solution, but I receive err:="read tcp ip1->ip2: use of closed network connection":

func (m *Proto) readRoutine(conn *net.TCPConn, stopRead chan bool) {
	//start to read in goroutine and send data to the chan
	data := make(chan interface{})
	defer close(data)
	go func() {
		for {
			d, err := conn.read()
                        if err != nil {
				fmt.Println(err)
			}
			if d == nil {
				return
			}
			data <- d
		}
	}()

	//listen stop and data channels and do stuff
	for {
		select {
		case <-stopRead:
			return
		case d := <-data:
			process( d)
		}
	}
}
