- 𝗬𝗴𝗴𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
- The accompanying GitHub script installs Yggstack on your ChromeOS device. It is configured to automatically start as a systemd service, ensuring it runs in the background without user intervention.
- Yggstack acts as a local proxy server set to listen on localhost port 1080 and will connect to the Yggdrasil Network through https://ygg.thingylabs.io
- 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
- The extension modifies Chrome's network settings to direct internet traffic from addresses within the Yggdrasil network range (0200::/7) through the Yggstack proxy. This rerouting is key to accessing the network securely and efficiently.
- A toggle icon in the browser toolbar provides a user interface to activate or deactivate the proxy functionality of the extension.
