## What it is
ProxiFyre is a Windows SOCKS5 proxifier that transparently routes TCP and UDP traffic of selected applications through SOCKS5 proxies using the NDISAPI packet filter driver. It supports multiple proxy instances, process exclusions, LAN bypass, IPv6 destinations, SOCKS5-over-TLS, and running as a Windows Service.

## Use cases
- force apps without proxy support through a SOCKS5 proxy
- route QUIC/UDP traffic over SOCKS5
- proxy only specific applications on Windows
- exclude certain processes from being proxied
- run a persistent per-app proxy as a Windows service
- proxy IPv6 traffic through an IPv4 SOCKS5 endpoint

## When to choose
- you need per-application proxying on Windows including UDP
- your apps lack native SOCKS5 support
- you need QUIC over SOCKS or IPv6 destination proxying

## When to avoid
- you need a full VPN or system-wide tunnel
- you run on non-Windows platforms
- your SOCKS5 server is IPv6-only or lacks IPv6 target support
