This mix of configuration and visibility helps maintain control over data leaving or entering your system, contributing to improved security posture.

Suggested alternative

• SHAREit (free) — listed here as a recommended alternative; note that it primarily focuses on file transfer and device-to-device sharing rather than acting as a full-featured proxy manager, so feature sets will differ.
