Using Google Web Designer with a proxy server
Google Web Designer's shell application supports the same custom proxy settings that the Chrome browser does. Details on Chrome/Chromiums settings can be found here.
If you have already changed your Chrome settings allow it to work with your proxy server, the changes to Google Web Designer should already be familiar.
Google Web Designer does not support reading or changing proxy settings from the command line, so you will need to make changes in the applications preferences, which are stored in the registry on Windows, the application plist on Mac and in the [Settings] section of the Google Web Designer config file on Linux. The locations are shown below:
| Windows | HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Web Designer\Settings |
| Mac | ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.WebDesigner.plist |
| Linux | ~/.local/share/google-web-designer/preferences/settings.conf
If the [Settings] section doesn't exist, you'll need to create it first. |
Google Web Designer uses the following proxy settings:
| Name | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| no-proxy-server | Boolean | On Windows boolean types are 32-bit DWORD values where non-zero indicates true and zero indicates false |
| proxy-auto-detect | Boolean |
|
| proxy-server | string | Google Web Designer does not currently support any proxies that require authentication |
| proxy-bypass-list | string | |
| proxy-pac-url | string |
