Hey @AstroSkipper, sorry to tell you this, but unfortunately I will no longer be a beta tester (for private and personal reasons) for your future development of your PopMenu program package. Therefore, you'll have to look for a different beta tester, unfortunately. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello @mina7601! No problem! Personal matters always have the highest priority. Wish you the very best! 

Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Hi, are there any plans to port this to Windows 7?

We're having problems now too since Microsoft and Rockstar removed TLS 1.2 ciphers from their HTTPS servers.

Hello @tinspin! I did not test my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 on Windows 7. It was successfully tested on Windows XP 32 and 64 Bit, but I can't see any reasons why the proxy itself shouldn't also run under Windows 7. The commands to show or change the system's proxy status will not work, though. They are compatible with Windows XP and below. Read my documentation, check the stated system requirements, and try it out! And please, report back here!

Ok, a bit concerned this will brick my installation.

How does the pipes get redirected to the proxy?

Is it reversible after install?

And of course what about security, are all parts open source?

Which installation? What pipes do you mean?  Your questions are totally unclear. Maybe, you try the pure proxy ProxyMII first to see whether the proxy itself works under Windows 7.Here is the link to @cmalex's original ProxyMII: https://mega.nz/folder/68dj2YTY#As2w31IO4Smr7gy6p1ciSg 
And, to answer your question I do not have any plans to port my package to Windows 7 at the moment. Everything I do here targets basically the Windows XP operating system. All my further decisions and next steps will depend on the interest and feedback of the users, simply put....

How are the OS sockets redirected to the proxy?

@tinspin! Did you read the first post of this thread? There, you'll find all technical information with regards to the TLS proxies and especially ProxHTTPSProxy. Link:

By using these proxies nothing will be bricked.  ProxyMII is fully portable, and my program package is almost portable.

All is definitely reversible.  It won't harm your OS.

Uh, no. I actually lost the mood of being a beta tester here. I somehow felt like I've sacrificed my time here as a beta tester for nothing.

Sorry if what I said made you very sad, but that's how I am thinking about it unfortunately. (also, sorry for replying late to your post)

I'm not asking you to change them of course, but I've always wondered why, if you are German, that you put the dates in your posts in American format, not European format?

The actual file names, I'm pleased to say, are the 'correct' way around!
