User reviews

Pros
  • Easy to use and very convenient for managing proxy settings
  • Provides direct enable/disable functionality for whistle proxy
  • Highly praised with multiple users giving positive reviews and 5-star ratings
Cons
  • Lacks support for account password functionality, causing access issues
  • Proxy management is all-or-nothing; no support for domain-based proxy splitting when used with other proxy managers like switchyomega
  • Rules and grouping management could be improved, such as recognizing groups as separate rules
  • No shortcut key support for quick proxy panel toggling or rule selection, reliance on mouse clicks lowers efficiency
  • Blacklist/whitelist configurations are not working as expected, specifically URLs in whitelist do not bypass proxy
