Proxybridge is a cross-platform traffic redirection tool that intercepts and routes Windows, macOS, and Linux TCP and UDP traffic through HTTP or SOCKS5 proxies.
The tool solves the problem of forcing applications to use a proxy when they do not natively support proxy configuration. Rather than modifying individual applications, proxybridge operates at the system level to transparently redirect all network traffic to a specified proxy server. This approach allows users to monitor, filter, or route traffic from any application through a centralized proxy without requiring changes to the application itself.
Proxybridge suits developers and security professionals who need to inspect or control traffic from thick-client applications, legacy software, or any program that lacks built-in proxy support. It works across Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it useful for cross-platform development and testing scenarios. The tool handles both TCP and UDP protocols, covering a broader range of traffic types than proxy solutions limited to HTTP alone. Users evaluating adoption should note that this is positioned as an alternative to Proxifier, offering similar functionality for traffic interception and redirection.
The project shows active development with regular commits and ongoing refinement of core functionality. Work spans multiple platforms with platform-specific implementations to handle the different mechanisms required for traffic interception on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The codebase maintains focus on the core interception and routing logic without scope creep into unrelated features.
