ProxySwitcher

ProxySwitcher is a Golang-based Windows application that allows you to easily switch internet proxy settings for various programs including the system settings. The application provides a command-line interface (CLI) through the usage of a library called cobra. This CLI then provides commands to set, unset, and save proxy configurations, as well as a system tray icon for quick access to settings and toggling proxies.

Features

• Switch internet proxy settings for various applications and the system.
• Manage configurations through a configs.json file.
• Command-line interface with commands like set, unset, and save.
• System tray icon with options to enable and disable proxies, open settings, save configurations, or exit the application.

Installation

You should download the latest release archive, extract all contents to a dedicated directory and then simply execute the .\install.ps1 script within a Windows Powershell.

Alternatively, you could simply run the following command in a Windows PowerShell:

# Using 'Invoke-RestMethod' and 'Invoke-Expression'
irm 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Baipyrus/ProxySwitcher/main/install.ps1' | iex

Usage

Generally, the Installation step will install both the program, its assets, and a shortcut for the Windows Startmenu for your current userprofile. You could go into the program directory (C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Programs\ProxySwitcher\) manually and run the program from your CLI in there, but it is recommended to simply use the program in system tray or directly via code. This latter option will be explained next:

• Clone the repository:

  git clone https://github.com/Baipyrus/ProxySwitcher.git
  

CLI Commands

• set: Enable all saved proxies including system proxy.

  go run . set
  

• unset: Disable all saved proxies including system proxy.

  go run . unset
  

• save: Saves a new configuration to set a proxy for.

  go run . save
  

Configuration

The programs for which the proxy settings should be managed are stored in a configs.json file, which can be modified directly or through the save command. For examples, please take a look at the default config or at the following block:

[
    {
        "name": "test1", // Default CMD Name
        "cmd": "echo 'Hello, World!'", // Optional
        "set": [
            {
                "args": [
                    "http"
                ], // Optionally empty
                "type": "text" // Default; Optional
                "equator": " " // Default; Optional
            }, // Writes "echo 'Hello, World!' http ", followed
               // by your system proxy, to a powershell process.
            {
                "args": [
                    "https"
                ], // Optionally empty
                "equator": "=" // Optional
            }  // Writes "echo 'Hello, World!' https=", followed
               // by your system proxy, to a powershell process.
        ], // Optional
        "unset": []
        // "unset" has the contents as "set" above
        // and it is also optional.
    }, {
        "name": "test2", // Default CMD Name
        "cmd": "echo '$PRSW_ARG $PRSW_ARG'", // Optional
        "set": [
            {
                "args": [
                    "https"
                ], // Optionally empty
                "type": "variable" // Optional
            }  // Writes "echo 'https <Your System Proxy>'"
               // to a powershell process.
        ] // Optional
    }
]
