Proxyset

Proxyset is a powerful proxy management tool designed primarily for Linux systems, with optimized support for Arch-based distributions. While intended to work across various Linux environments, full compatibility is not guaranteed for all distributions. Effortlessly configure, rollback, or monitor proxy configurations system-wide and for popular applications like Git, Pacman, and more.

🐧 Compatibility Note:

Best Performance: Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions Recommended: systemd-based Linux distributions Partial Support: Other Linux distributions may require system-specific adjustments
