Why people switch
- No licence fee, and the code is open to read and build.
- The same tool on Windows, macOS and Linux.
- UDP as well as TCP. Proxifier only handles TCP, so UDP traffic such as QUIC bypasses it.
- Per-process routing for apps that have no proxy settings.
- A command line for scripting, next to the GUI.
