SmartProxy initial guide #140

Open andrewpros opened 4 years ago

Hi.

There is a lack of initial guide for SmartProxy how to do things.

For example there is no description what SmartProxy modes do.

I figured out that if i want per website proxy i need to use the Smart Proxy mode, it is written nowhere.

Maybe it is a minor issue, but you should at least add a description of the modes and how they operate for absolute beginners.

I think a demonstration video would be great.

andrewpros commented 4 years ago

I think simple text description would be fine.

It will be something like this: https://introjs.com/ When? I don't know, don't have free time atm

As andrewpros already said, what the addon does by default in Smartmode is direct connection except for a few websites you enter in "proxy rules", where you can also specify per-site proxy. That is exactly the opposite of what I needed: to set up a single proxy for all websites except for a few whitelisted domains and I figured out you have to activate "always enabled" and enter whitelist domains in whitelist rules. Local networks should be whitelisted by default, I have to enter them one by one, whitelisting 192.168.1.0/255 or 192.168.1.0-255 does not seem to work. Looking at the icon you can't tell if you're using a proxy for the current tab or not. At least this is what I figured out, if someone knows better please explain.
