Software
JoyProxy ships a set of open-source clients so you can connect proxies on different operating systems and workflows: a browser add-on, a desktop connectivity tester, a local gateway, and an Android app.
The clients themselves are free and open source. If they connect to JoyProxy cloud proxies, traffic or Credits are billed in the JoyProxy console. If you use your own or a third-party proxy, the tools do not charge anything and do not consume JoyProxy traffic.

Choose a tool
Pick the client that matches your environment:
- Browse or scrape in a single browser: use the Browser Extension. It only manages proxy and fingerprint for the current Chromium browser and does not change the OS system proxy.
- Batch-check proxy health or debug a node: use Proxy Tester. It supports HTTP and SOCKS5 (including UDP ASSOCIATE), can call a provider extract API, and reports success rate and latency.
- Local apps that only accept 127.0.0.1, or a LAN that needs one shared exit: use Proxy Server. A small binary listens on a local port and forwards LAN or CLI traffic to the upstream cloud line.
- Real phones or emulators with per-app routing: use the Proxy Client (Android). It supports app whitelist and blacklist routing and does not require root.
