Run terminal commands through a proxy.
Choose a country or city and route a shell session or a single command through a proxy. Your other apps and terminals keep their normal connection.
Free with your own proxy. Or start with $1 of ours, no card needed.
Open-source CLI · Pay per use · Residential + datacenter proxies
One command, or a whole shell.
Use shellroute run for a single job. Open the interactive shell to stay in a country while you work.
Reproduce what a customer in another country sees.
Run your existing tests from the countries you sell to, locally or in CI.
Each shell can have its own country and IP. Everything outside it stays on your normal connection.
What you do today
Checking a country-specific response usually means one of these.
A VPN
- Moves the whole machine
- One country at a time
- Your browser, Slack and other terminals go with it
Proxy credentials by hand
- Copy host, port, user and password into each tool
- Env vars here, a config file there, a CI secret somewhere else
- Clean up afterwards, or forget to
Ask someone in that country
- Depends on who is online right now
- You get a screenshot, not a check you can rerun
- Nothing you can put in a script or CI
With Shellroute, one command gets the country. The proxy details never enter your script.
Your proxy or ours.
Bring your own
Already pay a proxy provider? Add it once and use it from any command. No account, no signup. The password stays in Shellroute's config, not in your script, your shell history or your CI log.
