Extension summary

DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU ARE NOT AT TJHSST STUDENT OR STAFF MEMBER!

Provides one-click installation of the TJHSST proxy servers, known as Zeus. More information about the proxy is available at https://sites.google.com/site/tjproxyaccess/home.

On websites where the proxy is in use, a pink key icon will appear in the address bar. When the proxy is off, the icon is grey. If this is annoying, you can disable it in the settings.

To disable the proxy for all sites, click on the pink key icon. The page will refresh and load through your normal internet connection.

This extension's proxy settings apply ONLY to Chrome, not to other browsers. This differs from the normal setup.

This extension requires the ability to "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" because that is the permission needed to control the proxy in Chrome.

More information, as well as the source code, are available at the linked Github page.

Obligatory note that this extension is in no way sanctioned by the TJHSST administration.
