Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been using proxifer for a while now, and it’s been pretty solid for my needs. But I’m curious—is anyone still using it these days? I feel like there’s gotta be newer tools out there that might do the job better or faster.
How does proxifer stack up against modern alternatives? I’ve heard some people mention stuff like Proxyman or Charles Proxy, but I haven’t really dug into them yet.
Also, does proxifer still get updates? I feel like it’s been a minute since I’ve seen anything major.
Would love to hear your thoughts or if you’ve switched to something else. Cheers!
(Also, sorry for any typos—typing this on my phone lol.)
Proxifer is still a solid tool, but I switched to Proxyman a while back. It’s way more intuitive for debugging and has better support for modern protocols.
If you’re into web development, Proxyman’s UI is a game-changer. Proxifer feels a bit outdated in comparison, but it still gets the job done for basic tasks.
Honestly, I haven’t seen any major updates for proxifer in years. I moved to Charles Proxy, and it’s been a huge upgrade. The filtering and breakpoint features are super handy.
If you’re looking for something fresh, Charles is worth checking out. Proxifer is reliable, but it’s definitely showing its age.
I still use proxifer for some legacy projects, but for anything new, I’ve been using Fiddler. It’s free and has a ton of features that proxifer doesn’t offer.
Fiddler’s session inspection is way more detailed, and it’s constantly updated. Proxifer is great, but it’s not keeping up with the times.
Proxifer is decent, but I’ve been experimenting with mitmproxy lately. It’s open-source and super customizable.
If you’re comfortable with command-line tools, mitmproxy is a beast. Proxifer is easier for beginners, but mitmproxy gives you way more control.
Wow, thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I didn’t expect so many alternatives to proxifer. I’m definitely gonna check out Proxyman and Charles Proxy first—they seem like the closest replacements.
Has anyone tried both Proxyman and Charles? Curious which one you’d recommend for someone coming from proxifer. Also, thanks for the heads-up about the lack of updates—kinda confirms what I was thinking.
Appreciate all the help! Gonna dive into some of these tools this weekend. Cheers!
I’ve been using proxifer for years, and it’s still my go-to for simple tasks. That said, I’ve heard good things about Burp Suite for more advanced use cases.
Burp is pricey, but if you’re doing serious security testing, it’s worth the investment. Proxifer is great for basics, though.
Proxifer is reliable, but I switched to Postman for API testing and debugging. It’s not exactly the same, but it covers a lot of what proxifer does and more.
If you’re working with APIs, Postman is a must-try. Proxifer is still good for network stuff, though.
I still use proxifer for some niche tasks, but for most things, I’ve moved to Wireshark. It’s more complex, but the level of detail is unmatched.
Proxifer is simpler, but Wireshark is the gold standard for network analysis. Depends on what you need, really.
Proxifer is fine, but I’ve been using Zaproxy for security testing. It’s open-source and has a ton of features that proxifer doesn’t offer.
If you’re into security, Zaproxy is a great alternative. Proxifer is still good for basic proxying, though.
