Tinyproxy is a lightweight HTTP/HTTPS proxy daemon for POSIX operating systems, written in C. It supports connection buffering, domain/URL filtering, upstream proxying, transparent and reverse proxy modes, making it suitable for small networks where a full proxy would be too resource-intensive.
Use cases
- set up a lightweight HTTP proxy for a small network
- share an internet connection with HTTP-only access control
- run a transparent proxy with firewall rules
- proxy traffic through an upstream proxy server
- filter domains and URLs at the network level
- run a reverse proxy for a web server
- buffer fast server responses for slow clients
When to choose
- you need a minimal, low-resource HTTP/HTTPS proxy on Linux/BSD/macOS
- you want transparent or reverse proxying without heavy software like Squid
- you need simple domain/URL filtering for a small network
When to avoid
- you need advanced caching, authentication backends, or SOCKS5 features of a full proxy suite
- you need a Windows-native proxy
- you need extensive traffic inspection or TLS interception
