How to install Tinyproxy on macOS

Tinyproxy is a lightweight proxy server that can be used to enhance network security and privacy. Here's how to install it on your macOS system:

Prerequisites

A macOS system (macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later)
Terminal application (built-in)

Steps

Open Terminal app on your macOS system.

Install Homebrew package manager by running the following command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Once the installation is done, update the Homebrew:
```
brew update
```
Install Tinyproxy using Homebrew:
```
brew install tinyproxy
```
Verify that the installation was successful:
```
tinyproxy -v
```
The output should display the version number of Tinyproxy you installed.
Configure Tinyproxy by editing the configuration file using a text editor of your choice (vim, nano, etc.):
```
sudo vim /usr/local/etc/tinyproxy.conf
```
Here are a few sample configuration settings that you might find useful:
```
Port 8080
Allow 192.168.0.0/16
DisableViaHeader Yes
```
The Port directive sets the port that the Tinyproxy will listen to, Allow sets the IP addresses or ranges that can connect to the proxy server, and DisableViaHeader makes the proxy server not to show the proxy information in the HTTP headers.
Start the Tinyproxy service:
```
sudo brew services start tinyproxy
```
Verify that Tinyproxy is running:
```
ps aux | grep tinyproxy
```
You should see a line that includes tinyproxy -d.

You have now installed Tinyproxy on your macOS system. You can now configure your browser or other applications to use Tinyproxy by setting the proxy server to localhost and the port to the one you configured in the Tinyproxy configuration file (default is 8080).
