Proximac is an open-source command-line alternative to Proxifier that forces any application's traffic through a SOCKS5 proxy on macOS. It works via a kernel extension and also supports a VPN-like mode that forwards all system traffic to a proxy.

Use cases

• force an app to use a socks5 proxy on mac
• route specific applications through a proxy without configuring them
• proxy all system traffic without a vpn
• open-source alternative to proxifier
• forward app traffic through shadowsocks socks5 proxy
• use socks5 authentication for per-app proxying

When to choose

• you need per-application SOCKS5 proxying on macOS
• you want a free, open-source Proxifier replacement
• you want to route all system traffic through a local SOCKS5 proxy instead of a VPN

When to avoid

• you are on Linux or Windows - it only works on macOS
• you need a maintained tool - the last release was 2021 and it requires disabling SIP/kext restrictions
• you want a GUI tool rather than a command-line utility with config files
