Proxy Detector - Privacy Policy

Description & Purpose

Proxy Detector is a lightweight Chrome/Edge extension created to quickly determine how the browser is routing network traffic and what public IP address websites see.

The extension helps answer questions like:

Is the browser using a proxy?
Did my public IP change?
Is a PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) script active?
Did enabling/disabling a VPN affect my connection?

Features

Displays the current proxy mode (direct, system, auto_detect, pac_script, fixed_servers)
Shows proxy host and port if manually configured
Displays PAC script usage
Shows public IP address retrieved from https://api.ipify.org
Detects network/routing changes using a local baseline IP
Warns when traffic appears to be routed through a proxy

Limitations

Cannot inspect traffic from other apps; only browser traffic
Cannot read encrypted VPN configurations directly
Cannot determine which websites use specific proxies

Privacy Policy

Proxy Detector does not collect, store, sell, share, or transmit personal or identifiable user data. All operations occur locally in the browser.

Proxy Settings: Reads the browser’s proxy configuration using built-in APIs. Processed locally only.
Public IP Address: Retrieved directly from https://api.ipify.org for display only. Not logged or transmitted elsewhere.
Local Storage: Stores baseline IP for network change detection. Remains local.
