I’m making some assumptions here, and if they’re not true, you can either correct me, or if the functionality i describe is what you want, take a look at https://www.cryptomonkeys.com/2014/07/automatic-http-proxy/ where I detail how to set this up.
Presumably you have: a) a web server that is passing the proxy.pac file out, and generating logs b) configured the browser’s proxy settings to “auto” When you start/load the browser, you should be able to see in the webserver’s logs that its pulling a copy of the proxy.pac file. If this isn’t the case, that’s likely to be your problem. The site you mention is a little light on details for all this, so I’m not sure if you only have a partial setup, or if you’ve misconfigured something. > On Feb 24, 2016, at 8:45 PM, Robert Citek <[email protected]> wrote: > > Greetings all, > > I have created a SOCKS proxy on a remote server that listens on port > :5150 and have manually configured my browsers (Chrome, Firefox) to > use it. > > As the next step, I would like to create a proxy.pac file to > automatically configure my web browsers to use the SOCKS proxy.
