GProxy EN

GProxy is a lightweight browser extension designed for direct, manual proxy control within the browser. Based on the available package details, it focuses on a simple and practical fixed-server proxy workflow rather than advanced automation or rule-based switching. It gives users a dedicated options page where they can configure one proxy server, save those settings locally, enable or clear the proxy quickly, define which addresses should bypass the proxy, and review basic connection status information in one place. This makes it especially useful for people who want straightforward browser-level proxy management without digging through browser internals every time they need to make a change.

The extension supports several proxy schemes, including HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5. Users can enter a host address and port number for the proxy they want to use, then save that configuration for future sessions. The package description also indicates that if no prior settings exist, the extension starts with default values, including a local proxy target and a preset bypass list containing localhost-style entries and an example wildcard domain. This helps make the extension ready to use immediately, particularly for users who already run a local proxy service and want to route browser traffic through it with minimal setup.

A major part of GProxy is its status-focused design. The options page includes clear status sections that show whether the extension is currently checking connectivity, appears connected, or has timed out. It also displays whether browser proxy mode is enabled or disabled. To estimate whether the configured route is reachable, the extension performs a lightweight network request and measures the response. This gives users a quick way to confirm whether their proxy settings appear to be working, without requiring manual inspection of lower-level browser configuration pages.

The interface is organized into practical sections for proxy server settings, live status information, and bypass list management. The bypass list allows domains or IP addresses to be entered one per line, and those entries are set to connect directly rather than through the proxy. The options page uses a dark theme with a card-style layout, color-coded status feedback, styled input controls, and a large editable area for bypass rules. This layout suggests the extension is intended for repeated adjustment and monitoring, not just one-time configuration.

GProxy also includes convenience controls outside the settings page. According to the package contents, it adds context menu actions labeled open, close, and clear. These provide quick access to applying the configured proxy, clearing the current proxy settings, or clearing browser history directly from the extension’s menu integration. In addition, clicking the extension action in the toolbar opens the full options page, making the main dashboard easy to reach whenever settings need to be reviewed or changed.

Key Features:
- Fixed proxy server configuration with support for HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5.
- Editable host and port fields for connecting the browser through a selected proxy endpoint.
- Custom bypass list support for domains or IP addresses that should connect directly.
- Live status indicators that show proxy mode state and basic connectivity test results.
- Local storage of proxy settings so saved configuration persists across browser sessions.
- Context menu shortcuts to apply the proxy, clear proxy settings, or clear browsing history.
- One-click access to the full options dashboard from the browser toolbar action.

How It Works:
1. Open the extension’s options page by clicking the extension action in the browser toolbar.
2. Select a proxy scheme such as HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5.
3. Enter the proxy host and port, then add any domains or IP addresses that should bypass the proxy, one per line.
4. Save the configuration so the settings are written to local browser storage.
5. Let the extension refresh status information and run its built-in connectivity check.
6. Review the status indicators to see whether proxy mode is enabled and whether the connection test appears successful.
7. Use the context menu when needed to quickly apply the configured proxy, clear proxy settings, or clear browsing history.

Privacy: - This extension stores proxy configuration data locally in the browser, including proxy scheme, host, port, and bypass list entries. It also requests access related to browsing control and history clearing in order to manage proxy behavior and provide its menu actions.
