Proxy Master

Warning: BEFORE USING THIS APP YOU MUST ADD source ~/.config/proxy-set.sh TO YOUR .bashrc

How to use

• add source ~/.config/proxy-set.sh to your bashrc
• open the app and enter the IP address and port
• click on the main switch (big OFF/ON icon on top)

What it does

It's a simple app to change your proxy settings everywhere. It automatically changes your proxy settings on:

• KDE: this is enough for chromium-based web browsers
• gsettings: some apps and browsers only use gsettings to get their proxy settings and simply ignore KDE's
• environment variables: curl, Qt apps, etc.
• sudo: adds -E flag to sudo so package managers like apt and pacman use the system proxy
• git: git does not use environment variables. Proxy Master can handle that as well.
• yt-dlp: adds appropriate flags to guide yt-dlp to use the system's proxy
• snap: has its own settings (but sometimes changing it can be really slow for some reason)
