Weird that I can post here, but not in his XP UEFI Class 3 thread... I keep getting 403 Forbidden when I try to reply. Anyhow, I'm gonna take this and the XP one and port them both to my website if that is ok. MSFN has been finicky as of late, and I do not want these to be lost!

You'd think if that were the problem, the forum could at least be a little bit less opaque and just say, "you can't say '<whatever>' here!" There were no swear words, so next time it happens, I'll just post a screen shot and let someone else explain to me what I said that was 403 forbidden. BTW, on my Chase.com issues, I discovered that, sometimes, it does work in Serpent, although that's rare on my home PC. I now suspect Chase has some kind of timeout, and since my home PC is slower than my work PC, the timeout rarely happens at work. (So now Chase is trying to require not only a modern browser, but also a modern-enough PC to run its Javascript-addled site quickly enough for its taste!)

... and for pm2796-vc10 NSS failures, it is due to the reordering of codes. still can't finish fixing freebl as amount of code is huge. putting them back to original places and group declarations to top of block should be the proper way to add support to C89 compilers.

... You're most welcome ! ... On the contrary, I became an avid fan of them since my beginnings in web navigation ; it was an era when full-blown VPNs were mostly unavailable to non-enterprises or too pricey for individuals, while open (read: misconfigured) HTTP(S) proxies could be easily found via a web search ; PACs offer a convenient way to selectively proxy only certain hosts/domains/etc. out of your total of web requests; was very handy on geo-fenced media portals/services in the ealry 2010s, where you had to (first identify and then) only proxy their geo-location checking scripts, with the media streams themselves (video and/or audio) being accessible "DIRECT"; now, 99.5% of these same media portals, free and paid for, geo-block fully their streams and also encrypt them with DRM ... PACs were also useful when you were employing a paid-for Proxy, but charged by proxy traffic or had quotas imposed on your use of it; by selectively proxying only those hosts that were inaccessible from your physical location, you could use less proxy bandwidth in a given time frame or squeeze more out of your proxy quota... This scenario involved use of proxies to unlock geo-fenced services (or ones regime-censored); if you were using a proxy for privacy reasons, then PACs were less applicable... Already known to me ; below, just for you, some PAC-related documentation, retrieved from my huge set of bookmarks: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Proxy_servers_and_tunneling/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_(PAC)_file https://learn.microsoft.com/el-gr/archive/blogs/ieinternals/understanding-web-proxy-configuration https://superuser.com/questions/191037/local-pac-file-url-format-that-works-with-ie-and-safari-windows https://blog.mikejmcguire.com/2014/05/07/using-proxy-auto-configuration-scripts-with-internet-explorer-11/ https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-disable-automatic-proxy-caching-in-internet-explorer-92735c9c-8a26-d0d8-7f8a-1b46595cbaba http://io.mysq.to/pac-file-and-proxy-auto-switch-for-firefox-ie11-and-chrome https://calomel.org/proxy_auto_config.html https://www.websense.com/content/support/library/web/v76/pac_file_best_practices/pac_file_best_practices.pdf The IEx articles relate to configuring a Windows "system proxy" (which can then be used by Chromium and its derivatives) ... End of off-topic ...

Are they somehow better? For me, they look pale, washed out, bright. Probably, because of my Titan oldie (made in Jan. 2013). But then again, H264 looks fine on it, please explain.

That's the error I get after installing the Windows Legacy Updater thingy and double clicking on the WLU file. Granted, I've got like 5 gigs free, so I'm pretty sure it's not that. I tried everything, like reinstalling the OS, reinstalling the Updater, installing the IE6 update some threads mentioned, running as Administrator, yet I still get that EXTREMELY unhelpful error. Anything I might be missing here? Using version 31IM in case that helps.

I wanted too see if it would be running as terrible on my end on single core as others here have been saying.

Thanks for the information and the linked documentation! Personally, I never used a PAC file. But one thing is clear you never stop learning. And here are some further PAC file examples: https://findproxyforurl.com/example-pac-file/

@Anbima : It is still unclear to me (and probably to the rest of the members trying to help you ) what exactly you're trying to accomplish here ... 1. Are there specific HTTPS URLs that fail to load on your 360EEv13.5 copy under your XP set up? 2. Are you concerned that the browser will load HTTPS sites under plain HTTP (and you're afraid sensitive/private info of yours will be sniffed?) - it's my understanding that a secure connection will either succeed or fail altogether... AstroSkipper has provided you with one-click sloution(s) for when you want to go through the HTTPSProxy and when NOT (however, the proxy should always be running, you do get that ) ... As already told, the proxy comes with a "[BYPASS URL]" section inside its "config.ini" file, but this serves just to exclude a small number of sites from being accessed via the Proxy (the purpose of this tool being to access the overwhelming majority of the internet through it ). Can you be so kind as to link to that documentation? This is a local PAC file you're talking about... 1. Internet Explorer, unlike Mozilla Firefox "legacy" browsers (I have no idea what the case is with recent Firefox), has poor support for local PAC files loaded from disk (and configured via the file:/// protocol) - so, you can still try to configure IE8's proxy settings via pointing it to your local PAC file, then configure 360EE to use "IE proxy", but YMMV ... 2. Since Chrome v68, native support for loading local PAC scripts via the file:// protocol has been revoked: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=839566 Some mitigations are offered inside comments on that bug, e.g. https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40574814#comment9 https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40574814#comment23 You can learn more about configuring Secure Proxies in Chrome/Chromium by reading this excellent documentation: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/net/docs/proxy.md#HTTPS-proxy-scheme Since HTTPSProxy is a secure proxy, used to access HTTPS URLs, the PAC syntax you quoted is wrong; change PROXY to HTTPS, e.g. function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { alert('url: \'' + url + '\', host: \'' + host + '\''); if (shExpMatch(host, "example.com")) { return "HTTPS localhost:8079"; } } The "alert" line can be omitted, but it's there to generate a message in the (browser) console when a site is being successfully proxied... In conclusion, I've offered lots of relative info you could have found yourself already by "fine-tuned" web searches ... TL;DR; Use a proxy extension inside 360EEv13.5 that has support for (correct) local PAC files, if you wish for some form of automation...

No. That is not the case. When closing the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy from my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, its entries are automatically removed from the system proxy settings. If not, you did something wrong. Close the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy and check the system proxy settings by "Open IE Proxy Settings" in the PopMenu!

Even if I use ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, there seem to be leftovers in the system when I exit, as various programs no longer have a connection to the Internet after exiting. Which settings are changed in the system?

I have seen on a page that a PAC can be created for Chrome, which can then be integrated with a start parameter. But I can't get it to work. The code in the PAC file should be as follows: function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if (dnsDomainIs(host, "example.com")) { return "PROXY localhost:8079"; } } Do you know how that works?

I prefer Proxy Switchy Auto version 1.2.2. With it, if a web site is "sourced" by three different servers, I can send each server through its own Proxy, none of the three servers know they each served content to one end-user.

@Anbima My final recommendation for you. Use in 360Chrome a proxy switcher extension like, for example, Proxy SwitchyOmega for a more convenient use of this proxy from inside this browser!

I'm sure it'll be better!

Exactly the opposite, simply letting certain URLs pass, can easily be realised. What you want is not actually the purpose of this proxy. If you only need the proxy for certain connections, only switch it on then and switch it off otherwise. It's as simple as that.

What setting do I have to make in config.ini so that the proxy is only used for certain URLs? I have already tried it, but I can't find a suitable setting.

Personally, I use very few extensions in Thorium. And those which are only used from time to time have been disabled by me.

Hmmm. I see. Some sort of toggle would be nice to have, but for now I have pinned something to the start of the taskbar and it acts a bit less glitchy now. Thanks for your replies.

ProxHTTPSProxy can be configured to the user needs in its configuration file config.ini. And in 360Chrome, as already described by @VistaLover, you can alternatively switch between "Use IE proxy" and "Do not use proxy".
