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 Since Chrome v68, native support for loading local PAC scripts via the file:// protocol has been revoked: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=839566 Some mitigations are offered inside comments on that bug, e.g.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".

Always the usual advice,from a former professor who used XP until the year 2021 : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/what-is-your-security-setup-these-days.111264/page-1637#post-2979834 Reduce the number of extensions you use. If you use too many extensions all the possible benefits of your customizations will be cancelled out and/or will be greatly reduced: https://www.debugbear.com/blog/chrome-extensions-website-performance

You'll notice when/if SAB reimplements taskbar.

No, some weirdos like it very much.

Did Microsoft not remove the Classic taskbar code, or did StartAllBack reimplement the taskbar?

From some webpages I visited - this new version of Serpent 52.9 (5-18) is really snappy compared to previous (5-11). Mighty fine.

When it comes to my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, closing the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy automatically removes its entries from the system proxy settings. This is not the case when using ProxyMII.
