Standalone Windscribe proxy client. Younger brother of opera-proxy.
Just run it and it'll start a plain HTTP proxy server forwarding traffic through Windscribe proxies of your choice. By default the application listens on 127.0.0.1:28080.
- Cross-platform (Windows/Mac OS/Linux/Android (via shell)/*BSD)
- Uses TLS for secure communication with upstream proxies
- Zero configuration
- Simple and straightforward
Pre-built binaries are available here.
Alternatively, you may install windscribe-proxy from source. Run the following within the source directory:
make install
A docker image is available as well. Here is an example of running windscribe-proxy as a background service:
docker run -d \
--security-opt no-new-privileges \
-p 127.0.0.1:28080:28080 \
--restart unless-stopped \
--name windscribe-proxy \
