What is a proxy client?
A proxy client forces the apps on your computer through a proxy server — even apps with no proxy settings of their own. ProxyTool does it per-app, at the system level, so you decide exactly what routes where.
Proxy everything
Route any executable through SOCKS5 or HTTPS — browsers, games, CLI tools, apps with no proxy support at all.
Smart per-app routing
Chrome through a US proxy, Slack direct, your scraper through residential IPs — all at once, all by rule.
Full UDP support
Kernel-level interception routes UDP as well as TCP — games, VoIP, and streaming included.
DNS through proxy
Resolve DNS on the proxy side to prevent leaks — no DNS requests slip out unprotected.
Cloud-synced rules
Set rules once and they follow you across every device — no exporting or re-creating profiles.
Proxies built in
Buy residential, ISP, datacenter, and mobile IPs from a curated marketplace inside the app.
What people use it for
One client, a lot of jobs.
Apps without proxy settings
Force any desktop app through a proxy even when it has no network settings of its own.
Gaming through a proxy
Send just the game executable through a low-latency SOCKS5 node while everything else stays direct.
Python & CLI, zero code changes
Route scripts and command-line tools through proxies without editing a single line of code.
Privacy on public Wi-Fi
Encrypt and route your traffic on café, hotel, and office networks — with leak protection built in.
