Tinyproxy
A lightweight, non-caching HTTP proxy daemon designed for embedded systems and minimal resource environments.
About Tinyproxy
Tinyproxy is a small, fast HTTP proxy server that has been around for years. It is designed to work well in environments where memory and CPU are limited, such as embedded Linux devices or small routers. Unlike bigger proxy solutions, Tinyproxy does not cache content or support complex authentication schemes. It keeps things simple and reliable.
The software runs on Linux and other Unix-like systems. It supports basic access control through IP-based allow and deny rules, upstream proxy chaining, and reverse proxy mode. Tinyproxy can also filter out specific HTTP headers and enforce connect port restrictions for HTTPS traffic. The codebase is written in C and is actively maintained on GitHub by a small community of contributors.
This tool is ideal for sysadmins who need a no-frills proxy for network segmentation, traffic monitoring, or as a stepping stone to a larger proxy setup. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2, making it free and open source for any use.
