🎉🎉 A socks proxy with user authentication can be set for electron's session

Install

# NPM
npm install electron-session-proxy

# Yarn
yarn add electron-session-proxy

# PNPM
pnpm add electron-session-proxy

Before use

import { session } from "electron";

const ses = session.fromPartition("persist:github");

// proxy is invalid ❌❌ Unable to authenticate
ses.setProxy({ proxyRules: "socks5://user:[email protected]:1080" });

After use

import { session } from "electron";
import { sockProxyRules } from "electron-session-proxy";

const ses = session.fromPartition("persist:github");

// proxyRules === 'http://127.0.0.1:[random-port]'
const proxyRules = await sockProxyRules("socks5://user:[email protected]:1080");

// proxy is valid ✅✅ Able to authenticate
ses.setProxy({ proxyRules });

Thanks

Thanks to the socks( GitHub | npm ) project, it has been a huge help to me.
