ProxiFyre v2.6.0 adds an optional standard-user console mode for portable launchers and selected applications. The normal elevated GUI and Windows service workflows are unchanged.
What's new
-
Start an interactive ProxiFyre engine without elevation:
ProxiFyre.exe --allow-not-admin -
Continue using the existing routing and proxy configuration for applications that Windows allows ProxiFyre to identify.
-
See a clear console and log warning whenever limited mode is active.
-
Get more useful startup guidance when Windows Packet Filter is missing or the current account cannot access its driver.
-
Safety checks prevent the limited-mode switch from being combined with service installation, removal, start/stop operations, or custom service-control commands.
Important limitation
This is a compatibility mode for selected applications, not a machine-wide security or leak-prevention boundary. Windows may prevent a standard user from identifying elevated, protected, system, or other-user processes. Traffic whose owning process cannot be identified remains direct—even when a catch-all routing rule is configured.
Windows Packet Filter must already be installed, and the current account must be able to open the driver. Use the normal elevated ProxiFyre service when complete machine-wide attribution and enforcement are required. The --allow-not-admin switch is exact, case-sensitive, and intended only for an interactive console run.
