Mellow is a rule-based global transparent proxy client for Windows, macOS and Linux, functioning as a Proxifier alternative that routes all system traffic. It supports routing rules based on domain, IP, GEOIP, and process, with multiple protocols and outbound endpoints, built on go-tun2socks.
Use cases
- proxy all traffic on my desktop transparently
- route traffic by process or domain rules like Proxifier
- split traffic across multiple proxy protocols and exits
- use GEOIP-based routing rules for a global proxy
- find a Proxifier alternative for Linux or macOS
When to choose
- you need system-wide transparent proxying with fine-grained rule-based routing on Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you want a free open-source Proxifier alternative
When to avoid
- you need maintained software - the project is explicitly unmaintained (Windows users are pointed to Maple)
- you need a license-guaranteed usage or commercial support
- you need mobile or server-side proxying
