This application provides a bridge to connect your computer with artificial intelligence services. It acts as a gateway, allowing you to route your requests through an intermediary. This ensures you maintain a consistent connection to the models you use for your daily tasks. The software manages the communication between your system and the external servers.
To begin using the tool, you must visit the project page to download the necessary files.

Once you reach the website, look for the section labeled Releases. Select the file ending in .exe for Windows. Save this file to a folder on your computer that you can easily find, such as your Downloads folder or your Desktop.
This tool runs on standard hardware. You need a computer running Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- Processor: Any modern dual-core processor.
- Memory: At least 4 GB of RAM.
- Storage: 50 MB of free space.
- Internet: A stable broadband connection.
The application does not require high-end graphics cards or specialized hardware to operate. It functions as a background process to bridge your connection.
Follow these steps to configure your software after you download it to your Windows computer.
- Locate the downloaded file in your folder.
- Double-click the file to start the installation process.
- Windows might show a security prompt. If you see this, click "More info" and then click "Run anyway" to allow the setup to continue.
- Follow the prompts on your screen to complete the installation.
- Launch the application from your desktop shortcut or the Start menu.
Once the program opens, you will see a simple control panel. This panel shows the status of your connection. If it shows "Ready," the application is working. You are now prepared to route your requests through the proxy.
The software works automatically once you start it. You point your browser or your favorite chat application to the address provided by this tool. By default, the application runs on your local machine at port 8080.
To configure your client software:
- Open the settings menu in the application where you wish to use AI.
- Look for "Proxy Settings" or "Network Settings."
- Enter
127.0.0.1as the server address. - Enter
8080as the port number. - Save your changes.
The application captures your traffic and manages the flow to the external AI services. This process hides your direct connection and helps you manage your interactions with different endpoints. You can monitor the live traffic in the main window of the proxy application.
This software stays on your computer. It does not send your personal files or sensitive data to any third-party servers outside of the requests you make to the AI provider. The proxy only identifies the data packets to ensure they reach the correct destination.
Clear your browser cache if you encounter any errors while connecting. This often fixes issues where old settings conflict with the new proxy route. If the connection fails, restart the application.
If you encounter problems, review these solutions:
- Application does not open: Ensure you have the latest version of the Windows software. Check that your antivirus is not blocking the executable.
- Connection refused: Verify that the port 8080 is not in use by another application. If another service uses this port, change the port number in the settings menu of this application.
- Slow response time: This usually depends on your internet speed or the load on the external AI server. Test your connection on a different network if the issue persists.
- Missing windows: If the application tray icon disappears, click the program icon in your taskbar to maximize the window again.
Regularly check the repository for updates. We release improvements periodically to maintain compatibility with changes in the way external AI services handle requests.
The internal engine of this proxy uses standard networking protocols. It creates a local server on your computer that listens for incoming data. When you send a query, the proxy intercepts the data, signs the request with the required credentials, and forwards it to the target service. The response returns in reverse through the same path.
This process is standard for developers, but here we provide a simple interface to manage it without writing or changing any code. Everything happens in your background so you can focus on your work.
This project relies on contributions from the community. If you find bugs, report them through the issues section on the main project page. Provide a description of the error and the steps to reproduce it.
We welcome feedback on how to improve the interface to make it more accessible for all users. Keep your requests clear and provide enough detail for others to verify the issue. Avoid posting sensitive API keys or personal passwords when you report an issue.
