UPDATE
Of course, I had to remove the microsoft domains from my PAC file, where I
want to thank Andy Burns for teaching me what the PAC file does as I had
never heard of it until I started this quest to build my own proxy client.
/*
proxy.pac C:\data\sys\batch\proxy.pac (20250902)
This is version 1.4
Selectively bypass proxy for sites sensitive to tunneling or IP shifts:
- Google services (search, mail, etc.)
- Amazon (especially the Amazon Vine Voice program)
- Speicific Microsoft domains (Copilot)
All other traffic routed through local SOCKS proxy at 127.0.0.1:1080
- Including Windows Update
Useful for split-tunnel setups where trusted domains go direct
but everything else is encrypted via Psiphon SOCKS5 proxy.
If needed, test PAC web access and fundamental logic with:
- https://pactester.brdbnt.com/
- https://github.com/termsl/WPADChecker
- curl http://127.0.0.1/proxy.pac
v1.0 20250902(added Amazon Vine Voice https://amazon.com/vine/about)
v1.1 20250910(added Google Gmail but I need to add it to Thunderbird)
v1.2 20250918(added Microsoft sites for practice adding domains)
v1.3 20251016(removed Microsoft domains for Windows-Update reasons)
v1.4 20251016(rewrote to eliminate Windows-Update altogether)
*/
