ToggleProxy

ToggleProxy is a PyObjC-based application for Mac OS X to quickly enable and disable the HTTP proxy for the currently active networking interface.

It’s a background application which installs a menu item in the Mac OS X menu bar. The item shows either an up-arrow with a dashed line through it (think traffic is going through a proxy) when the proxy is active, and only an up-arrow when the proxy is not active.

Toggle the on/off state by clicking the icon, quit the application by Ctrl-clicking the icon.

Prerequisites

  • PyObjC: this should be already installed on your Mac, possible after installing XCode first;
  • py2app

Build

Build the application from Terminal like so:

python setup.py py2app

This builds the application as dist/ToggleProxy.app. You can run it from there, or move it to somewhere more appropriate first.

Troubleshooting

If you run into problems, first try to find out what the reason is. Run this from the same directory as setup.py:

./dist/ToggleProxy.app/Contents/MacOS/ToggleProxy

This should output any errors to stdout, so you might get a clue as to why it’s not working. If it warrants an issue-report, you’re welcome!
