Description

Very heavy memory usage by ProxyMan when it has been running for a while. Streaming internet radio may be a factor.

Easy solution of course is to just quit & restart ProxyMan. I certainly don’t need it running constantly.

  • App version: e.g Proxyman 3.9.0
  • macOS version: macOS Ventura 13.5.2

Start with the reported heavy memory usage after ProxyMan has been running for a while, using the supplied screenshot and the listed ProxyMan and macOS versions. Try reproducing it while streaming internet radio, then determine whether memory continues growing and document a confirmed cause or fix.
