Quickstart

From zero to a working proxy in five steps: get a key, install it, verify it's protecting your traffic, and move on to your platform's guide.

1. Get your key

Start with a free trial or activate a paid license. Protection requires an active license. Check license and masking status before working with real data; do not assume an invalid license blocks the assistant.

2. Install TigerMole

On Windows, download the graphical installer and follow the wizard. On Linux, install the package and run the TigerMole wizard.

Windows

TigerMole-Setup-X.X.X.exe

Linux / Debian

sudo dpkg -i tigermole-proxy-X.X.X-amd64.deb
tigermole-proxy install

3. Configure Claude Code

The installer can configure ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL for you. For a manual setup, run:

tigermole-proxy configure

4. Check the state

After activating your license, verify that the proxy is listening and masking is active:

tigermole-proxy status
tigermole-proxy doctor

The expected result includes the local proxy at 127.0.0.1:9800, an active license and detected Claude Code configuration.

5. Next step

Open the platform guide for checksum verification, upgrades and a clean uninstall.
