TunnelSwitch is chrome extension allows you manage and switch between multiple proxies quickly and easily
Switchy is pretty good, but the auto switch mode seems not work for me, so I made this TunnelSwitch.
The default setting shows that how I use TunnelSwitch with a ssh tunnel proxy listened on port 8527 at localhost. I have 3 modes in the default setting.
DIRECT, all traffic goes directly without proxy
PAC FILE, I use pac file to define the URL patterns those should be proxied with ssh tunnel, GFWed sites typically (facebook, twitter, youtube... ) . I provide a example pac file in default settings, you can download it and change it for your own sake. I usually stay in this mode. When I visit the GFWed sites, the traffic goes through ssh tunnel automatically.
FIXED SERVER, socks5,127.0.0.1,8527, all traffic goes through the ssh tunnel
Though I mainly use this extension with socks5 proxy, Other proxy schemas http/https/socks4 are also supported.
