Proxygen has a menu bar item that provides quick access to the current proxy state without having to bring the app to the foreground.

It displays the following information:

  • Currently enabled listener addresses
  • Whether the system HTTP/HTTPS proxy is currently configured to point at Proxygen
  • Whether the proxy is running

Configure System Proxy toggles automatic system proxy configuration by the helper tool on and off, which is a quick way to let traffic bypass Proxygen without changing anything in system settings.

The menu bar item can be hidden with Show menu bar item in Appearance Options.
