A socks5 proxy injection tool for Windows, making selected processes proxy-able
Proxinject is a socks5 proxy injection tool designed for Windows, enabling selected processes to utilize a proxy server seamlessly. This utility allows users to inject proxy settings into specific applications, ensuring they route their traffic through the desired proxy without requiring modifications to the applications themselves.
Key Features:
- Process Selection: Target specific applications or processes that need proxy support, providing granular control over which services use the proxy.
- Socks5 Protocol Support: Leverages the socks5 protocol for secure and efficient proxy connections, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of proxy servers.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Offers live monitoring to track which processes are currently using the proxy, allowing users to adjust settings as needed.
- Configuration Options: Provides flexible configuration options to tailor proxy injection to meet individual needs, including support for multiple proxies and advanced routing rules.
- Compatibility with Winget: Can be easily installed via winget, making it straightforward to integrate into existing workflows and environments.
Audience & Benefit:
Ideal for developers, network administrators, and security professionals who need precise control over application-level proxy usage. Proxinject benefits users by enabling seamless integration of proxy functionality without altering applications, enhancing privacy and flexibility in managing network connections. It is particularly valuable for those requiring secure testing environments or specific routing configurations.

How to Install
Choose whichever method you like:
- Download the latest portable archive (
.zip
) or installer (.exe
) from the Releases Page, OR - Type
winget install PragmaTwice.proxinject
in the terminal (winget is required)
Or build from source (not recommended for non-professionals):
# make sure your develop environment is well configured in powershell
git clone https://github.com/PragmaTwice/proxinject.git
cd proxinject
./build.ps1 -mode Release -arch x64 # build the project via CMake and msbuild
# your built binaries are now in the `./release` directory, enjoy it now!
makensis /DVERSION=$(git describe --tags) setup.nsi # (optional) genrate an installer via NSIS
