Feature Request: Static values for proxy credentials

Open sergeykomlev opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

I found that Proxidize app dynamically generate the login and password for proxy. In my case app sometimes lost connection with proxy server and at reconnect new credentials is generated. I think it’s good to have static values for proxy credentials.

This is not normal behavior. The app saves the credentials and they should not change even after you restart it.

Which version are you using?

Which version are you using?

I use v2.1.0; sometimes, in my case, the phone automatically reboots, then I click connect and new credentials are generated.

I think it's good to have the option to set custom credentials for the proxy (user, password, port for HTTP/socks) and save this data in the phone memory. To make this data static.

Are credentials generated on the proxy server level or in the app?

Why does the phone reboot? Does this only happen after a reboot?

I'll try to replicate this behavior and see what happens.

Anything credentials or authentication related is done in the app itself.

I will wait for the app code, because I think I will be able to push improvements here.

In my case custom server settings are saved and even after reboot not changed, I have only one problem with credentials, which are regenerated sometimes.

I'm working on the next update so I'll be adding that.

Do the credentials change for you if you exit and restart the app? Specifically when using the exit button?

  • when I his the Exit button (this happened not always)
  • when I have device reboot
  • when my phone terminate app in backgroud

I was able to fix disconnect using MacroDroid, simply hitting Connect button. But my main problem is new user/pass/port cridentials for proxies. They are changing somehow and this breaks my connection with proxy server.

Anyway thanks for your replies. I will wait for new updates.

Try the latest version and let me know. The credentials should only change if you delete the app.

Closing this until I hear back from you @sergeykomlev
