history

Project history and usage

Proxyfor is a portable forward and reverse proxy for capturing and inspecting HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, and secure WebSocket traffic.

Project history

Proxyfor is an open-source Rust proxy developed by sigoden. Its official materials identify the project with the 2024–present period and dual Apache-2.0/MIT licensing.

Adoption history

Proxyfor is distributed through Cargo, Homebrew, Docker, and portable release binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows, giving it several routes into command-line and container workflows.

How it is used

Users run it as a forward proxy for clients or as a reverse proxy in front of a target URL. Captured traffic can be filtered, searched, viewed through a TUI or WebUI, and exported as Markdown, cURL, or HAR. HTTPS decryption requires installing Proxyfor's generated CA certificate on the client device.

Why package nerds care

Proxyfor packages traffic capture, TLS interception, filtering, and terminal or browser interfaces into a portable Rust executable. It is useful when a smaller CLI-native inspection proxy is preferable to a large desktop suite.

Timeline
