Split Proxy/VPN Toggle OR Proxy always on mode

[MrCatEsq]

I want a feature that keeps chosen proxy "Always On" regardless of the VPN mode status.

The problem

Currently, stopping the connection in VPN mode kills the proxy (127.0.0.1:2080), forcing me to restart the app constantly, if I want to use or not use the proxy.

Requested Change

I need the proxy to stay active for apps with internal proxy settings (like Telegram), while being able to toggle the VPN mode on and off only when needed for apps without settings (like Chrome).

The proxy should either stay active using the last selected profile or allow the VPN and Proxy connection to be toggled independently (two independent buttons with paper plane for VPN and Proxy).

Current workaround and its issues

Currently, I have to use a workaround by cloning the NekoBox app. I add the same profile to both, setting one to "VPN" mode and the other to "Proxy Only" mode. This allows me to keep the second app always on for proxy-enabled apps (like Telegram) and only toggle the first one when I need a system-wide VPN (like for Chrome).

However, this is very inconvenient: I see two separate notification blocks from the app and its clone, and the quick-toggle icons in the status bar constantly shift positions.
