ZigzagProxy (ZPROXY) is a Command Line Interface (CLI) to connect using proxies (for Firefox, Chrome and any other program or command started from bash)

Project (by zoninoz):

Releases:
http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/zproxy/

ZigzagProxy (zproxy) is a CLI bash script, with which you can connect programs from bash using proxy (transparent, anonymous or elite/highly-anonymous, selected according to the type required by the user).
Zproxy extracts proxies from https://proxyscrape.com/free-proxy-list, analyzes them and checks whether they work, selecting those that allow a download speed higher than a default value

INSTALLATION:

1. Download the installation script from:
   http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/zproxy/install_zproxy.sh
    
2. Give users the right to execute the script:
   chmod a+x install_zproxy.sh
    
3. Start the automatic installation:
   ./install_zproxy.sh

Usage (the order of the arguments is not important):

[source |.] zproxy [options] [commands | programs]

[Source |.]:
You can activate/deactivate a proxy for all programs/commands started from the same terminal: 'source' (abbreviated with a dot, must always be inserted BEFORE the command) 'globalizes' the variable 'http_proxy', making it active for all commands/programs started from the terminal after ZigzagProxy.

Options:

-h   --help           ZigzagProxy Manual

     --ip             Current IP address

-u   --update         Update ZigzagProxy

-d   --disable        Disable the proxy

-s   --ssl            HTTPS proxy (ssl)

-t   --transparent    Select the type of automatic
-a   --anonymous      proxy to activate:
-e   --elite          Transparent, Anonymous, Elite

-p PROXY, -pPROXY     [-p|--proxy=] allows to activate
     --proxy=PROXY    a PROXY chosen by the user

Commands or programs:
The program or commands to be started with active proxy. In the presence of arguments or, in any case, of spaces, it is necessary to enclose the command between quotes or single quotes.
