Must be run with sudo.
```

One of:

off Disconnect from the proxy connection
sh/ssh Open a shell to the proxy
(Reuses the connection; nice and fast!)
run (default) Connect and keep in foreground
(Allows exiting with Ctrl-C)
--github
Proxy all SSH connections (e.g [email protected]) to GitHub
-r, --region
One of EU/AU/US-WEST/US-EAST
Default is geolocated from your IP.
-p, --port
Port to connect to proxy on
Default is 22, use 443 if proxy is blocked
-s, --service

Default is your top enabled network ('Wi-Fi')
-u, --user

```
## Install
To install:
* Clone this repo
* `cd` into the new directory
* Run `./hmproxy`
To make it available everywhere:
* `cd` into the `hmproxy` directory
* `ln -s $PWD/hmproxy /usr/local/bin/hmproxy`
If the `/usr/local/bin` directory does not exist yet you can create it first by running the following command:
```
sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin
```
## Examples
For example, I run it as follows:
```
sudo hmproxy -u ryan
```
If I'm in a cafe that blocks port 22:
```
sudo hmproxy -u ryan -p 443
```
If I'm in a cafe in Berlin, and want to force EU-Central:
```
sudo hmproxy -u ryan -p 443 -r eu-central
```
## FAQ
### Why does it pick the wrong service (e.g. Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi)?
HM Proxy tries to pick the right service, but it may be picking the wrong one if your system order is set incorrectly.
To fix this, open `System Preferences > Network`, click the gear, and select "Set Service Order..."
If you just want to do it for a one-off request, use `-s` or `--service`
