ProxyJam Connector — Proxy Manager

ProxyJam Connector is a proxy manager for Chrome. It keeps all your proxies in one place, switches between them in one click, routes each site through the proxy you choose, and tells you plainly when a proxy stops working. It needs no account, sends no telemetry, and makes no network request until you switch on a feature that needs one. It works with proxies from any provider, and with your own. If you also buy proxies from ProxyJam, an optional tab lets you buy, connect and manage them without leaving the extension. ONE-CLICK SWITCHING The toolbar popup lists every mode: Direct (no proxy), Auto (rules), your system proxy, and each of your saved profiles. Click one and it applies to the whole browser at once. • A route strip at the top of the popup shows where your traffic goes right now: straight to the internet, through one proxy, or split by rules. • The toolbar badge shows the state without opening anything: no badge when the proxy is off, green ON for a single proxy, blue AUTO for rule-based routing, red ! when applying the proxy failed, orange AUTH when a proxy rejected its credentials. • Your choice survives a browser restart and disabling and re-enabling the extension. PROXY PROFILES • Schemes: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and QUIC. • Each profile stores host, port, username and password, notes, a color tag, a favorite star, a remote-DNS option, and an optional failover proxy. • Search by name, filter by scheme, sort by manual order, name, newest or recently updated, and duplicate a profile to make a variant. • No limit on the number of profiles. • Passwords are never shown back in the interface. Leaving the password field blank while editing keeps the saved one. • The form validates host and port before saving and warns inline about browser limits (see Honest limitations below). AUTO-SWITCH RULES Route different sites through different proxies automatically, with no clicking. • Nine condition types: exact domain, domain with subdomains, host wildcard (*.example.com), URL wildcard, regular expression, exact URL, URL prefix, URL suffix, and URL contains. • Each rule sends matching traffic to a profile or to Direct. • First match wins, top to bottom, and you reorder rules with up and down buttons. A fallback decides what happens when no rule matches, so the result is always predictable. • Rules are edited as a draft and applied with Save changes, so a half-written rule never routes live traffic. • Regular expressions are checked before they are saved, so a broken or runaway pattern is refused instead of slowing the browser down. • On Chrome the rules are compiled into a PAC script on your device and run by the browser's own PAC engine. No remote code is involved. RULE SETS Group rules into named sets and turn a whole set on or off with one switch. A disabled set is removed from routing but kept, so moving between a work setup and a personal one takes a click and deletes nothing. HEALTH CHECKS AND FAILOVER • Optionally probe the active proxy every 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, or run a check on demand. • Pick a failover proxy for each profile. When a check finds the active proxy unreachable, ProxyJam Connector switches to the failover you chose and says so in the popup: "Health check failed — switched from A to B." • It never switches silently, and it never picks a replacement you did not nominate. • The last result and its time are shown in Settings. • Off by default. PROXY CHECKER Answers "is this proxy actually working, and what does the internet see?" • External IP: the address websites see through the active proxy. • Latency: how long a request through the proxy takes. Measuring an inactive profile routes traffic through it for a moment and then restores your previous mode. • Geo / ASN: the country and network that IP belongs to. • WebRTC leak test: whether WebRTC exposes addresses outside the proxy. • Check one profile or all of them. • Every check is off by default, because every check makes a network request. Each one names the exact host it contacts before you turn it on. DIALOG-FREE PROXY AUTHENTICATION When an HTTP or HTTPS proxy asks for a username and password, ProxyJam Connector answers it directly with the credentials saved in the profile. The browser's login box does not interrupt you on every new connection. If the proxy keeps rejecting them, the extension stops retrying and the badge turns orange AUTH, instead of looping. BYPASS LIST • Localhost, 127.0.0.0/8, ::1 and private IPv4 and IPv6 ranges always go direct. • Add your own entries, one per line: hostnames, host wildcards (*.internal), IPv4 CIDR ranges, or IPv6 addresses. • The bypass list applies in every mode, including rule-based routing. IMPORT AND EXPORT • Import from a file or by pasting text. Auto-detect recognizes ProxyJam files, the backup files of other popular proxy extensions, plain host:port lists, and CSV. • Profiles, bypass entries and auto-switch rules are all imported. • A detailed report lists what was imported, what was skipped as invalid and why, and what was rejected as a duplicate. Malformed input never disappears silently. • Export to ProxyJam JSON, plain text or CSV. • Exports leave passwords out unless you tick Include passwords. • Optionally encrypt the export with a password: AES-256-GCM with a PBKDF2-SHA-256 key, done entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded. PROXYJAM ACCOUNT (OPTIONAL) The ProxyJam tab connects the extension to a ProxyJam account. It is the only part of the extension that talks to a server, and it sends nothing until you sign in. • Sign in with email and password, or paste an API key created at app.proxyjam.com. • Store: browse the catalogue by country and proxy type, see prices, pick a plan and quantity, apply a promo code, and buy. Pay from your ProxyJam wallet balance, or through the payment methods enabled on your account, which open the payment page in a new tab. The extension never sees card or bank details. • Connect in one cl…
