What is it?
ProxyBridge is an open-source universal proxy client for Windows, macOS and Linux. It redirects TCP and UDP traffic from specific processes through SOCKS5 or HTTP proxies at the system level, so applications that have no proxy settings of their own can still be routed.
Rules are set per process. Each rule can direct traffic to a proxy, let it connect directly, or block it entirely, and can match on IPs, ports, protocols and hostnames with wildcard support. Rules can be exported and imported as JSON. The project offers both a GUI and a CLI on all three platforms.
On Windows it is built on WinDivert, on macOS it uses Apple's Network Extension framework, and on Linux it relies on NFQUEUE and iptables. The Windows build supports IPv4 and IPv6.
Key features
- 01Per-process rules to proxy, connect directly, or block traffic
