For years, Linux users have relied on the classic trio of environment variables— http_proxy , https_proxy , and no_proxy —to route traffic through a proxy. But let’s be honest: it’s a brittle solution.
For most Linux power users, redsocks + iptables is the free alternative, but it requires deep networking knowledge. Proxifier wins on simplicity and application-based filtering. While Proxifier lacks a CLI, you can swap profiles from the terminal by copying configs: proxifier linux

Enter —a powerful, per-application traffic routing engine that forces any application through a proxy, whether it was designed for one or not. What is Proxifier? Proxifier is a transparent proxy client that captures traffic at the network stack level. Instead of relying on application-level proxy support, it intercepts socket calls and redirects connections through HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 proxies.
It doesn’t work for hardcoded IP addresses. It ignores UDP traffic. It fails for daemons running as system services. And it certainly doesn’t help when an application simply doesn’t respect the environment.
