TinyProxy is a light-weight HTTP/HTTPS proxy daemon for POSIX operating systems. This is an ideal solution for use cases such as embedded deployments where a full-featured HTTP proxy is required, but the system resources for a larger proxy are unavailable.

TinyProxy Features:

Anonymous mode - allows specification of individual HTTP headers that should be allowed through, and which should be blocked.

HTTPS support - Tinyproxy allows forwarding of HTTPS connections without modifying traffic in any way through the CONNECT method.

Remote monitoring - access proxy statistics from afar, letting you know exactly how busy the proxy is.

Secure - run without any special privileges, thus minimizing the chance of system compromise.

URL based filtering - allows domain and URL-based black- and whitelisting.

Transparent proxying - configure as a transparent proxy, so that a proxy can be used without any client-side configuration.

Small footprint - the memory footprint is about 2MB with Glibc, and the CPU load increases linearly with the number of simultaneous connections (depending on the speed of the connection). Tinyproxy can be run on an old machine without affecting performance.
