The gnome extensions page is here. Install using the extensions website or alternatively follow the manual installation instructions below.
Any contributions are very welcome (e.g. new features, translations, bug fixes etc) and I will consider all feature requests. Please submit an issue/pull request or email me at [email protected].

git clone https://github.com/tomflannaghan/proxy-switcher.git
cd proxy-switcher
make build
make install
Current master branch only supports versions >= 45. There have been breaking changes to the Gnome Shell API. The best way to download the appropriate version for your Gnome is via the extensions website, where you can select the shell version you would like.
There are branches for some older versions of Gnome, e.g. gnome44 branch for Gnome 44.
I have added the translations I found in the gnome-control-center project to the extension (these are the translations used in the "Network Settings" menu). I've also used the "Network Settings" desktop shortcut to translate that phrase.
