As a mobile developer, I often need to set up a LAN proxy on my phone for development and testing. The usual method involves manually entering IPs and ports without saving configurations, which is inefficient when switching between proxy and direct connections. To solve this, I created ProxyTap, a smart tool designed to streamline LAN proxy management. It supports one-click switching, automatic configuration saving, and significantly boosts debugging efficiency, making the workflow smoother and faster. Key Features: Automatic Proxy Detection: Scans your local network to detect proxy tools (such as Charles, ProxyMan, or Mitmproxy) automatically. One-Click Switching: Instantly toggle between proxy and direct connections with a single click, eliminating the need for manual IP/port entry. Widget Support: Switch connections directly from the widget—no need to open the app, saving time and effort. Real-Time Status Monitoring: Automatically monitors the availability of proxy services and provides real-time feedback to ensure seamless debugging. Bulk Configuration Management: Manage multiple proxy configurations and switch between different projects or environments with ease.
