Overview
BitDrip is a self-hosted privacy protection platform for organisations that use AI services. It intercepts traffic to external AI APIs at the TLS layer and enforces your data-handling policies in real time.

(system proxy — automatic)
Admin DashboardAll components run inside your infrastructure. The Proxy Daemon intercepts HTTPS traffic at the TLS layer and calls the Policy Engine before forwarding requests upstream. Browser and CLI tools are both covered — no code changes or environment variable exports required.
Components
Policy Engine
The core service. Evaluates content against detection rules; returns block/warn/log decisions. Backed by PostgreSQL for audit storage and Redis for rule caching. Exposes a REST API at /api/v1.
Proxy Daemon
Local HTTPS MITM proxy. Intercepts AI API traffic from browsers and CLI tools transparently via a PAC file. Evaluates each request body against the Policy Engine before forwarding to the upstream AI API. Replaces the need for URL-prefix API gateway routing or environment variable overrides.
Admin Dashboard
React web application. Manage users, configure policies, generate compliance reports, and view the immutable audit log.
Tray App
Desktop application (macOS, Windows, Linux) included in the workstation bundle. Manages the proxy daemon on end-user devices — start/stop, routing toggle, CA certificate status with expiry alerts, and one-click daemon updates. The tray app is the primary control surface for end users; all proxy management can also be done via the bitdrip CLI.
