The Proxies page is the one you will open most often. It displays every proxy group defined in the active profile along with the nodes inside each.
Page layout
Each horizontal block is a proxy group; the small label next to the name shows its type (select, url-test, fallback, …). Each card inside is a node - or another group: groups can nest, and provider profiles commonly put "Auto" or per-region subgroups inside a main "Select" group.
Everyday operations
- Switch node: in a select-type group, click any card. Takes effect immediately, no restart.
- Benchmark a group: click the lightning icon at the group's top-right to test all members concurrently. Colors indicate quality (green fast, yellow ok, red timeout).
- Collapse groups: the arrow next to the group name folds it - handy with long node lists.
Why did switching nodes do nothing?
- You switched the wrong group: only the group your rules actually point at matters. If YouTube traffic is routed to a "Streaming" group, changing "Select" has no effect. Check the Chains column on the Connections page to see which group a connection really used.
- You clicked inside a url-test group: automatic groups re-decide on every benchmark, overriding manual picks. Pin nodes in a select group instead.
- Old connections persist: established connections are not cut when you switch. Use "Close all connections" on the Connections page to force new routing.
Tip: the behavioral differences between select / url-test / fallback / load-balance are covered in Proxy Group Types.
