Add "Require Proxy" option to block browser launch if proxy is missing #322

adamant-31 started this conversation in Ideas
Discussion options

Feature Request / Enhancement
To prevent accidental real IP leaks, it would be very useful to have a built-in option that blocks the browser from launching when no proxy is set.

Proposed Solution
Add a checkbox (e.g., Require Proxy) that, when enabled, will:

Check if a proxy is provided before launching the browser

Block the launch and show a warning if the proxy field is empty

Without this feature, the browser may fall back to the real IP if the user forgets to enter a proxy. This can compromise anonymity. I have implemented this locally, but it would be better to have it as a default or built-in option for all users.

I completely agree. If it starts with the wrong IP, the result will be fatal.
