# sysproxy-cmd
A command line tool to change HTTP(s) proxy settings of the operating system.
Binaries included in repo. Simply `make` to build it again, with the important exception of darwin, which uses its own repository and build at https://github.com/getlantern/sysproxy-cmd-darwin.
Note - you will need to run make separately on each platform.
# Usage
```sh
sysproxy show
sysproxy on
sysproxy off
sysproxy wait-and-cleanup
```
`sysproxy off` and `sysproxy wait-and-cleanup` turns off proxy setting only if the
existing host and port equal .
`sysproxy wait-and-cleanup` differs from `sysproxy off` in that it waits for input
from stdin (or close) before turning off proxy setting. Any signal or Windows
system shutdown message triggers the cleanup too.
# Notes
* **Mac**
Setting the system proxy is a privileged action on Mac OS. `sudo` or elevate it
as below.
There's an additional option to chown itself to root:wheel and add setuid bit.
```sh
sysproxy setuid
```
* **Windows**
Install [MinGW-W64](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64) to build sysproxy
as it has up to date SDK headers we require. The make command is `mingw32-make`.
To avoid bringing up console window, it doesn't show anything directly to
console. Piping the result to other utilities should work.
```
sysproxy show | cat
```
* **Linux**
`sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev`
