Setup guide / 使用帮助

Connect the app.
Then connect your system.

Starting ProxyPAC is the first step. Enable Automatic Proxy Configuration for your active network so compatible apps can use its routing rules.

启动 ProxyPAC 后,还需为当前网络开启“自动代理配置”,浏览器等兼容应用才能使用路由规则。

Before you begin / 开始前

Use an HTTP proxy you are authorized to access. Add its server, port and credentials in ProxyPAC, start local services, select Allowlist mode and add a test hostname. ProxyPAC does not provide a consumer proxy server.

先添加您有权使用的 HTTP 上游代理,填写服务器、端口及必要认证,启动本地服务,选择白名单模式并添加待验证域名。代理地址与端口由您的上游代理提供方提供。

STEP 01

Copy the PAC URL from ProxyPAC

Open General and click Copy URL and Open Settings. The button copies your current PAC URL and opens system network settings. Expand Show macOS Setup Instructions in the app to follow its built-in guidance.

在“通用”页点击“复制 URL 并打开设置”。展开 App 内“显示 macOS 设置步骤”查看操作指引。使用 App 复制的当前地址;修改端口后,不要继续使用旧地址。

STEP 02

Choose the network you are actually using

System Settings → Network → connected Wi-Fi or Ethernet → Details… → Proxies

系统设置 → 网络 → 当前已连接的 Wi-Fi 或以太网 → 详细信息 → 代理。

Select the active network service. Wi-Fi and Ethernet have separate proxy settings; changing one does not configure the other. The exact labels and layout may vary by macOS version.

STEP 03

Enable PAC, paste the URL, then save

Turn on Automatic proxy configuration, paste the copied address into URL, then click OK or the save/apply button shown by your system. Auto proxy discovery is a different setting.

开启“自动代理配置”,在 URL 输入框中粘贴刚复制的地址,再点击“好”或系统显示的保存/应用按钮。“自动发现代理”不是同一个开关。

Default PAC URL: http://127.0.0.1:8899/proxy.pac. Use your app’s copied value if the port differs.

On a managed Mac, consult your administrator before changing existing proxy settings. Avoid combining conflicting manual proxy settings with this setup.

STEP 04

Verify with a fresh browser request

Keep ProxyPAC running. In Chrome or another system-proxy-compatible browser, open a fresh connection to your test domain. Confirm that the upstream proxy can reach that destination. “Local services running” confirms the app’s listeners, not that macOS PAC has been enabled.

保持 ProxyPAC 运行,用遵循系统代理设置的浏览器重新访问测试域名。确认上游代理本身能访问该目标。“本地服务运行中”不等于系统 PAC 已开启。不要用缓存页面判断路由是否生效。

Common questions / 常见问题

The app is running but traffic stays direct

Check the active network’s PAC switch and URL, the upstream server and port, and the Allowlist hostname. System bypass entries can keep matching destinations direct before requests reach ProxyPAC. Existing browser connections may retain their old route; reconnect before testing. Some applications ignore system proxy settings.

A domain is learned unexpectedly

Clear its learned record and test fresh connections. Include the exact hostname and app build when reporting a problem. Build 38 can learn performance preferences; later builds changed that behavior. Loopback remains direct; bypass precedence also differs between builds.

Restore ProxyPAC Pro

Sign in to the App Store with the purchasing Apple Account. Open ProxyPAC Pro and use Restore Purchases when locked. Check App Store connectivity if restoration fails; an error does not mean you must purchase again. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Pause, stop or uninstall / 暂停或卸载

Pause Proxy Routing keeps local services available while new requests go direct. Before removing configuration or uninstalling, turn off Automatic Proxy Configuration on every network service where you enabled it. Automatic failover is not a system-wide kill switch.

卸载或移除配置前,请关闭对应网络服务中的“自动代理配置”。若 Wi-Fi 和以太网均设置过,应分别关闭。

Still need help?

Email the app version/build, macOS version, exact hostname and steps to reproduce. Never include proxy passwords, Apple Account credentials or private traffic content.

ProxyPAC requires macOS 15 or later. Open Show macOS Setup Instructions in the app for setup guidance. System versions may use different labels.
