Use case
Windows developers and heavy AI-client users need to route only selected programs (terminals, ChatGPT/Claude desktop or Store builds) through a chosen upstream proxy while other apps stay direct.
Using system-wide proxy or TUN mode, configuring rule-based legacy tools such as Proxifier, or simply giving up on proxying those programs.
Global/TUN modes require a virtual adapter and often break local networking, while legacy tools like Proxifier demand hand-written rules and manual child-process capture for multi-process apps.
xOcto's call
Demand is evidenced
Trend: as AI clients and terminal tools multiply, the last-mile proxy and network-egress setup is still hand-tuned by users, pointing to a gap in the tooling around AI runtimes. Entry: start with developers and cross-border teams that need stable access to overseas models, packaging per-app proxying as managed or team-pushed configuration; the plugin SDK could grow paid capture or audit modules, though no pricing or payment evidence exists yet.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Inference: instead of writing rules and hunting PIDs, it makes drag-in takeover, automatic child-process following and driver-free, route-free operation the concrete steps, removing process-hunting and rule-writing, so Windows users who fear breaking local networking but want only a few AI clients proxied are likely to try it first.
