How to Build

Download the latest proch.exe binary file from Releases.

If you have already installed the Go language, you can build it yourself without downloading the binary file.

go install -ldflags -H=windowsgui github.com/Riki-Okunishi/proch/cmd/proch@latest

Get Started

1. Create setting.json shown below. You list up your wireless network and proxy settings in this file. If the value of "proxyEnable" is true for a given network, then you should specify the values of "proxyServer" and "proxyOverride".

{
  "profiles": [
    {
      "ssid": "Proxy SSID",
      "proxyEnable": true,
      "proxyServer": "proxy.address:PORT",
      "proxyOverride": "excluded address[;<local>]"
    },
    {
      "ssid": "non-Proxy SSID",
      "proxyEnable": false
    }
  ]
}

Note: ;<local> is optional in "proxyOverride". ; is a separator of excluded IP addresses, <local> is the option to check "Don't use any proxy server for addresses in intra(local) network".

1. Put the setting.json file in the same directory as proch.exe. You can put them in any directory. proch.exe is installed in %USERPROFILE%/go/bin if you build with go install.

your-directory/
├── proch.exe
└── setting.json

1. Double-click proch.exe or open that directory in a terminal and run the proch command (if %USERPROFILE%/go/bin has been added to Path). If you have changed the location of setting.json as described below, you can call it from any directory in the terminal.

How to change setting.json location

You can change the path of setting.json instead of the same directory as proch by adding/editing the registry key.

1. Open "Registry Editor" (required administrator permission).
2. Create the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Proch\SettingJson.
3. Add the value to this key as "string value(REG_SZ)" and set the data to the directory path where you want to place the setting.json file.

If the registry key is not registered or the data of the key is invalid, it will be assumed to be located in the directory where you ran proch.
