ProxyDesk
One local address for every app on your machine. ProxyDesk rotates requests across your ProxyForge proxies, re-tests the ones that fail, and keeps working while you run your scripts and browsers.
Windows · Linux · macOS
What it does
- One local address
- A single SOCKS5 and HTTP address on your machine. Point any app at it and it uses your proxies.
- Rotation across your proxies
- Requests are spread across the proxies you added, so no single address carries all your traffic.
- Dead proxies handled for you
- A failing proxy is taken out of rotation, tested again, and returned once it passes.
- Copy-paste setup
- Ready snippets for curl, Python, Playwright and browsers, filled in with your local address.
- Import and test in bulk
- Paste a list and see each line parsed before you commit. Run a batch test and share the report.
- Activity log
- See what went through and export it to CSV.

ProxyDesk questions
Does ProxyDesk route all my traffic?
No. Only the apps you point at the local address use it. Everything else on your machine connects as it did before.
Is traffic ever sent direct if my proxies fail?
No. ProxyDesk fails closed: if no proxy is available, the request fails instead of going out from your own address.
Does it support UDP?
No. The local address handles TCP connections over SOCKS5 and HTTP. UDP is not supported.
Why does my system warn me when I open it?
The Windows build is not code-signed yet, so Windows may show an unsigned-app warning. The macOS build is not notarized yet: right-click the app and choose Open the first time. Both warnings are expected today.
Where do I download it?
From the desktop app screen in your dashboard, where the builds for Windows, Linux and macOS are listed.
