Hmm. The "m" has a "fallback feature" - when your remote proxy FAILS, it will fallback to a "direct connection" without warning ( https://proxomitron.info/files/index.html ). The Proxomitron community kind of went "up in arms" over that and the creator quickly released the "j" version. Lunch time so I'll revisit later.

Wow! Didn't even dawn on me to see if it "worked" and only the "test" was failing.

This is another of my Proxomitron "menus". The possibilities are limited only by one's imagination. This hidden menu opens when you hover over the top left corner and could easily contain Chromium links like chrome://flags or chrome://gpu or chrome://media-engagement or shortcuts to extension inner pages that normally take six mouse clicks to get to but now only take one.

I'm having the same failures in XP x86 XP3. My fingers are crossed, @RainyShadow, I hope you are seeing something that I am overlooking.

I've also only been testing in XP x64 - that shouldn't be relevant but mentioning it just in case. Will test in XP x86 SP3 shortly.

Technically the browser is irrelevant, the Proxomitron "test Proxy" is failing and that only tests the link between Proxomitron and ProxHTPPSProxyMII. This is the link to the 360Chrome I am using -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/6z65t5yo08fr0ym/360ChromePortable_11.0.2031_rebuild_8_ungoogled.zip But since you will be wanting to install Proxy SwitchySharp from the Chrome Web Store, use this one instead -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/mes4wez1v34w9k4/360ChromePortable_11.0.2031_rebuild_8.zip And I've tried both ways but Proxy SwitchySharp should not be required as 360Chrome uses the Operating System's Internet Explorer proxy server settings. Another proxy setting for Chrome-based browsers is to use a startup command line switch >> --proxy-server="http=localhost:8080,https=localhost:8079" (I've also tried --proxy-server="http=127.0.0.1:8080,https=127.0.0.1:8079") Getting 360Chrome to use the correct proxy is a piece of cake -- but Proxomitron connecting to ProxHTTPSProxyMII is a d@mn NIGHTMARE. Also, I'm not interested (at the moment) in BFilter or CCProxy - I just want Proxomitron and ProxHTTPSProxyMII to talk to each other. Also, the actual Proxomitron header and web filters are irrelevant at this point, they do not effect the two talking to each other as far as the "test Proxy" dialog is concerned. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Hope that you have better luck than I have had.

Yep! Very useful when debugging javascript What is your ProxHTTPSProxyMII's config.ini settings? I"M STILL NOT GETTING THIS D@MN THING TO CONNECT. SOOOO d@mn frustrating!

I'm actually half way there and my MSFN looks great. Looks perfectly "normal" (albeit heavily modified by Stylus). You can see my Proxomitron config "menu" as evidence. LONG before ProxHTTPSProxy / ProxHTTPSProxyMII came along, us Proxomitron users were doing what we called half-ssl. I can get everything working using HALF SSL - but this is essentially HTTP EVERYWHERE and while that is perfectly fine "for me", I am assuming that the MSFN Crowd would prefer the more widespread (albeit meaningliess!) HTTPS EVERYWHERE. Yeah, after trying for FOUR DAYS, I'm sure you can see my frustration with ProxHTTPSProxyMII.

I'm fairly positive I've tried that. I've tried a HUNDRED different scenarios over the last FOUR days. Much more d@mn confusing that it should have to be. Digging through your recent posts and will update. Fingers crossed

Totally agree. I've used Proxomitron for 18 years and it really is awesome! But I used it in conjunction with GreenBrowser and Sleipnir and it fell to the wayside when the "modern web" forced me to short-lived Mypal/NM and I'm now on 360Chrome. I see a much longer life with 360Chrome so I'm highly interested in bringing Proxomitron back into the mix (outside of only Microsoft Excel Web Queries where I still use my previous Proxomitron configuration). It's always been "intimidating" and the sidki3003 configs only add to that confusion (but they are extremely powerful and I do use the sidki3003 configs). There were Proxomitron Forum members (Grypen, lnminente, Jakx, altosax, Alcyon, Kye-U, JJoe) that publicly released less confusing configs, but they never gained as much ground as sidki3003's configs.

For a geeky person that loves tinkering with computers, I'm at my wits end here! I simply can NOT get ProxHTTPSProxyMII to link to Proxomitron. There seems to be very limited interest in it here at MSFN but I'm hoping SOMEBODY can direct me as to what I'm doing wrong. This is INSANE and setting up ProxHTTPSProxyMII should NOT require a 6yr doctorate degree! I can get the old ProxHTTPSProxy (no MII at the end), but it doesn't work as intended and I can only assume it is because it is a BETA version.

@RainyShadow - Please let me know if you can get this setup working in 360Chrome. Thanks in advance.

Do you have a download link? I can't find this extension. Nevermind. That's a FIREFOX extension. This is an EASY chain in Firefox. It's only on Chromium-based that I need to use ProxHTTPSProxy without the MII.

Ah, I didn't do anything with ParentServer so that may be my issue. Are you using the old Proxomitron or the "Reborn" Proxomitron?

@RainyShadow - how did you assign all of your ports? Ignoring BFilter (at least for now), I'm not able to get these chain links to link -- ProxHTTPSProxyMII Front > Proxomitron > ProxHTTPSProxyMII Rear

That's the original author's default config from 2003. Nobody really uses that one anymore. However, I am having a higher success rate with the 2003 default config than I am with anything dated 2008 and newer. So the newer (and more complicated than needed when using in conjuction with NoScript, uMatrix, Stylus, etc) config files are going to be too bloated. So good call, reverting to the 2003 and adding to it as opposed to running something from 2008 and newer and stripping it down.

I admit that I was a bit skeptic on BFilter at first (it has not been updated since 2008). All I kept seeing it block is Google adservers and analytics that I block with other methods. It did block 1x1 pixel ads on https://www.quora.com/Which-website-has-the-most-ads (that Proxomitron also blocks). Although the 1x1 pixel ads on quora were the ONLY blocks (outside of Googlisms) in its log after bouncing around and hunting for ads for over an hour - but it DID block "something" (with all of my other methods disabled), so I cannot discredit it. If you open your config file in a text editor, I'll be able to know what config you are using if you can show us what your "Blocklists" section looks like.

I've added BFilter to my chain. Monitoring...

Are you using the 2019-01-26b1 that JJoe submitted as an update to an older sidki3003 config? I'm starting to think that for "modern usage", I may build up a config completely from scratch. "Modern usage" doesn't really need it to be the Swiss Army Knife that it is (I don't intend to "replace" Stylus, NoScript, uMatrix, and Tampermonkey but rather use in conjunction with).

I don't have a specific header-dependent redirect. I assumed that since www.google.com (and msfn.org) were being filtered that I didn't need the header-dependent redirect.

I haven't been able to get consistent results as of yet I haven't been able to get ProxHTTPSProxyMII to link to Proxomitron. I can get the older ProxHTTPSProxy (no MII at the end), but not the newer ProxHTTPSProxyMII. So I'm not sure if my inconsistency has been due to MII versus non-MII. Everything will filter on www.google.com but as soon as I perform an actual search, 360Chrome seems to be making a parallel connection because the Proxomitron log shows traffic but the page is not being filtered.

I love Stylus.

This "feature" doesn't really concern me. There is no such thing as "privacy". You can not hide. And just "trying" to hide actually fingerprints you like a sore thumb. You either connect to the internet or you live in "the hills" with no electricity and no running water. There is no inbetween. I miss using Proxomitron as a web filter so I am attempting to incorporate the "reborn" version of Proxomitron with Chrome-based browsers. There really is a "crapload" that Proxomitron can do - it is NoScript, uMatrix, UBO, AdBlock Plus, Stylus, Privacy Badger, Tampermonkey, User-Agent Switcher, LastPass, RoboForm, KeePass, EditThisCookie, Awesome Cookie Manager, Popup Blocker, HTTPS Everywhere ALL literally rolled into ONE program.

I was going to screencap where Mypal 27.9.4 logs the MSFN reply box but the reply box no longer even works in Mypal 27.9.4. Did not try NM27, Mypal 28, or NM28. I've basically abandoned them due to finding waayyy tooo many web sites where they simply do not work.
