The Proxomitron_Sidebar+ configuration is a popular community-driven setup designed to integrate a dynamic, real-time control sidebar into web browsers. It lets you toggle web filters, view active connections, and bypass rules on the fly through a localized web interface.
Because Proxomitron functions as a local HTTP proxy, setting up the Sidebar+ requires configuring both the application files and your web browser. Phase 1: Prerequisites & File Placement
Before configuring the system, ensure you have the required Sidebar+ script files—usually bundled in advanced community configuration sets like Sidki’s or Kye-U’s sets.
Close Proxomitron: Ensure the main application is not running.
Locate the HTML Directory: Open your main Proxomitron installation directory and locate the folder named html.
Deploy Sidebar Files: Extract your downloaded Sidebar+ files (usually consisting of sidebar.html, script files, and associated CSS/images) directly into this html folder.
Verify Config Insertion: Ensure your current active configuration file (.cfg) includes the matching header/web filters required to process the sidebar commands. Phase 2: Configure Browser Proxy Settings
To make the sidebar accessible, your browser must route its traffic through Proxomitron’s local server engine. Default Address: localhost (or 127.0.0.1) Default Port: 8080 For Modern Browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave) Modern Chromium browsers share the system proxy settings: Open your browser settings and search for Proxy. Click Open your computer’s proxy settings. Enable Use a proxy server. Set the Address to 127.0.0.1 and Port to 8080. Click Save. For Mozilla Firefox Firefox allows independent proxy routing: Control your sidebar navigation – Redocly
